  • A man was gored and seven others sustained injuries on the second morning of Pamplona's San Fermin festival.
  • The man gored, identified as being over 25, was injured under his right armpit by a bull horn but is in stable condition.
  • The festival involves 'encierros' or bull runs, where fighting bulls are released through the city's narrow streets to the bullfight arena, with hundreds of participants running alongside them.
  • Up to 4,000 runners take part in each bull run, which covers 846 metres and typically lasts three to four minutes.
  • The centuries-old tradition, popularised by Ernest Hemingway, has seen at least 16 fatalities over the past century, with the last death occurring in 2009.
