The president of a bullfighting club was gored by a bull after it jumped out of the ring and attacked him, reports the Daily Mail.
Dominique Perron, president of his local Paul Ricard bullfighting association, suffered serious injuries after being charged at the Bayonne Festival, in south west of France, on Sunday night.
Roger Martin, a photographer sitting alongside him, was first of all gorged in the testicles, and then suffered horrific wounds all the way up to his stomach.
‘Mr Perron was hit second,’ said one of the visitors to the festival. ‘He was hit hard in the right leg, which was badly fractured. His ankle was also dislocated, and there may be other injuries.
‘Mr Perron was clearly in massive pain, and was screaming and shouting as the attack happened. He was naturally very frightened.’
The source added: ‘Neither of the men had time to hide behind the wooden barriers set up to protect people.'
