Carnaval del Toro American gored Running with the Bulls in Spain

Carnaval del Toro Festival and running of the bulls is a long Spanish tradition. Running with the bulls is an event tourists should not take lightly. American Benjamin Miller found out the hard way. Miller was gored during the festival bull run on February 14, 2015. The first part of this clip is from Kevim110, a look at part of the bull run from a spectator point of view.

MADRID — Benjamin Miller, the 20-year-old American student who was badly gored during a bull running festival is out of intensive care and improving, a spokesman for the Clinic Hospital in western Salamanca said Monday.

The hospital spokesman identified the man as Benjamin Miller and said he was out of danger and not likely to have to undergo any further operations. He spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with hospital rules.

However, Tom Eppes, a spokesman for the University of Mississippi, confirmed last week that Benjamin Milley, originally from Marietta, Georgia, and a sophomore at the school, is the injured man.

The man suffered several wounds, including a 16-inch goring in the thigh, when he was caught by a fighting bull during a festival in the nearby town of Ciudad Rodrigo on Saturday.

Images showed the 20-year-old being repeatedly tossed by the bull and in obvious pain at being gored and pushed along the ground. Helpers eventually managed to pull him up from the street to safety.

Fiestas featuring bulls are common in Spain and many people are injured each year. Spain’s most famous bull-running event is in the San Fermin festival in Pamplona.
