PAMPLONA, Spain — A Spanish Red Cross spokesman said three people were gored and three others suffered bruises in a tense fifth bull run at Pamplona's San Fermín Festival on Monday.
It was the first run with gorings in the festival so far this year. There are three more daily runs before it finishes Thursday.
Red Cross worker José Aldaba told Spanish National Television that one man was gored on the street, while two others were stabbed by a bull´s horn inside the bullring at the end of the run.
Television images showed one bull repeatedly tossing and butting one runner against the wooden barriers on the edge of the ring and then goring another in the back of the leg.
The spectacle lasted just over three minutes as hundreds of runners, mostly men, ran frantically ahead and alongside six fighting bulls as they charged through the cobblestone streets of this northern city.
Three other runners were treated for injuries sustained in falls during the run.
The run finishes at Pamplona's bullring, where later in the day the bulls are killed by professional bullfighters.

The adrenaline rush of the morning bull run is followed by partying throughout the day and night.
