Bulls jump into crowds

  • 14 years ago

A bull weighing 500 kilos jumped over the barrier that separates the bullring from the grandstands, during the second bullfight of the 2010-2011 season of the Plaza de Toros in Mexico City.

The bull did not reach the bleachers and fell into the alley where picadors, assistants and other bullfighters were watching the bullfight.

No spectators were injured, but picador Cesar Morales was injured after the bull fell on top of him. The bull returned to the ring shortly afterwards and the bullfight continued as planned.

A 1600-pound bull jumped an arena barrier at a rodeo and ploughed into the crowd, injuring four people.

The incident happened at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton. The bull, named Rewind, bucked off its rider and ran around the ring before jumping the barrier into the audience.

Rodeo staff managed to throw a rope around the animal and led it out of the seated area into an enclosed pen.
