The Man was repeatedly attacked by the bull at the Fira de Onda festival, suffering a head wound and having an artery punctured in his left thigh.
He died at a hospital in the nearby town of Villareal.

It was The First fatality of its kind since similar events were resumed in Spain, following a relaxation of Covid restrictions over the summer.
But despite the rule changes, only a handful of bull-running events have gone ahead, as debate ramps up in Spain over whether they should be abolished.
