Disturbing video footage has captured the horrifying moment a teenage boy became the target of a frenzied bull during a traditional Spanish festival, suffering repeated gorings and being tossed violently into the air.
The incident, which occurred during a 'bous al carrer' (bulls in the street) event in Xàtiva, Valencia, shows the young spectator desperately trying to evade the animal's charges before being caught and subjected to a brutal attack.
In the gripping footage, the massive bull can be seen charging directly toward the teenager, lowering its head and launching him several feet into the air with its sharp horns. The attack continues as the animal repeatedly gores and tosses the helpless youth while terrified onlookers scream in horror.
Emergency services rushed to the scene following the brutal incident, which left the teenage victim with significant injuries. Festival organizers have faced renewed criticism over the safety of such events that bring participants into close contact with enraged bulls.
This latest attack has reignited the debate about the dangers of traditional bull-running festivals across Spain, where participants often test their bravery against charging bulls in narrow streets with limited escape routes.
Local authorities have confirmed they are reviewing safety protocols for future events, while medical teams continue to monitor the injured teenager's condition following the traumatic attack.
