An American's desire for a selfie after he ran with the bulls in Spain turned into 'real fear for my life' when he was run over and gored by a bull.
July 8, 2019
“The joy and the excitement of being in the bullring quickly turned into a scare, into real fear for my life,” Alvarez, 46, said Monday at a regional hospital where he was recovering from surgery. Once it appeared certain he would live, the run-in brought rebukes from Alvarez’s wife and daughter. The three stopped in Pamplona to check out the famous San Fermin festival while in route to another city where the couple’s son was playing in a soccer tournament.
Alvarez says he ran most of the 913-yard course ahead of the bulls. But by the time they entered the bullfighting plaza at the end, the pack of animals had caught up with him.
