| ::THE
REPORT:: |
Today it was the turn of Mercaderes street to become
the most dangerous stretch and to display the most perilous
moments of the bull-run. Thanks to their very fast pace
and the wet ground, both bulls and runners slipped on
as they entered this stretch. A small pile-up formed
on the right side of the street and the brown bull,
"Romero" ran straight into the pile-up, more from inertia
than any wish to charge the runners. He gored a runner,
causing a 15 cm penetration to his left thigh. The runner
is a 38 year-old Englishman Andrew Slatter
who was taken off to hospital. From this same pile-up
a 60 year-old Frenchman Jean Marie Gaudin suffered
a heavy traumatism to his stomach. |
