A SCOT has been taken to hospital after being injured at the famous Running of the Bulls festival.
The 46-year-old man from Paisley suffered head injuries after falling during the daily 8am run through the streets of Pamplona in northern Spain.
He was one of seven people injured during the fifth of the eight runs. The Scot was not fully named and only his initials - A. R. - were released. Hospital bosses said he had suffered "light head trauma".
His hospitalisation took the tally of injuries in this year's runs so far to 28.
Fifteen people have been killed at the annual festival since records began in 1911.
Virtually all the revellers wear red and white during the Running of the Bulls festival which lasts nine days. The six bulls used for yesterday's run were from the Jandilla breed. Bulls from the breed have gored 27 runners in previous years.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
