PHOENIX — A 25-year-old Tempe man was injured, along with at least 10 others, at the famed running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.
The Arizona man, who was identified by the initials R.H.O., was among the thousands running the streets with fighting bulls at the annual San Fermin Festival on Tuesday.
Another American, Mike Webster, 38, of Florida, was gored near his shoulder. A 27-year-old Australian was gored in the thigh.
It was the second day of running with the bulls.
Since 1924, when records began being compiled, 15 people have died from gorings at the festival.
