Six people have been gored on the third day of the Pamplona bull run.
The incident happened after two bulls strayed from the pack and became disorientated, charging at just about anything that moved.

Witnesses said people were tossed into the air after the bulls charged into the crowds.
The run lasted 12 minutes, compared to three or four for an average one.
One bull accompanied by four steers that are supposed to keep the pack in a cluster ran back the wrong way.
Organisers took the unusual step of putting a wooden barrier up to stop them. One bull plowed into crowds and flipped people into the air.
Another daredevil kicked that bull in the rump and grabbed it by the horns.
Stick-wielding San Fermin bull handlers who try to act as shepherds hit the man, as did other runners. At San Fermin, touching the bulls is seen as disrespectful.
It was the third of eight runs at Spain's San Fermin festival, a centuries old event also known for nonstop street parties.
