Spain. In the town of Arcos de la Frontera (province of Cádiz), an incident occurred during the traditional "Toro del Aleluya" celebration held for Easter.
According to 20 Minutos, a 500-kilogram bull named Infinito broke through a fence and attacked spectators.
Reports indicate that one person was gored and underwent surgery in a field hospital; their condition is reported as stable. In addition, several others were injured in the resulting panic and stampede.
The town's mayor, Miguel Rodríguez, stated that all required permits and safety measures had been followed, including the presence of medical staff.
He emphasized that the fence had been inspected prior to the event. Authorities plan to conduct a technical assessment to determine the cause of the collapse and prevent similar incidents in the future.
One of the main events in Arcos de la Frontera is Easter — a celebration officially recognized as being of tourist interest. It concludes with the traditional bull run known as Toro del Aleluya, held on Palm Sunday.
It was previously reported that a 38-year-old participant died during a half marathon in Madrid — the man collapsed just meters from the finish line. Medics tried to save him, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
