Harrowing video captured the moment a raging bull attacked a young man – goring and tossing the thrill-seeker through the air like a rag doll along a narrow street.
The massive beast charges the 19-year-old, who slips and falls while other people continue sprinting during the recent bull run in Castalla, Alicante, the gruesome footage posted by CEN shows.
The defenseless teen tries to get away from the rampaging animal, which picks him up by the horns and tosses him against the walls on both sides of the street as people look on and scream.
Several of them try to distract the bull to no avail. He finally manages to seek refuge from the onslaught by entering a building.
The horrific video was captured during the five-day Fiestas de Vaca — or Cow Festivities — in honor of San Roque (Saint Roch) that began on Aug. 12, according to the outlet.

The teen, who was not named, was rushed to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition with four horn gashes and multiple bruises, local reports said.
“It’s as if a train ran over him, but the wounds are minor and the boy is in better condition than expected,” local official Jose Rico said, CEN reported.
Animal welfare party PACMA condemned the event.
“‘Bous al carrer’ [bulls in the street] events not only cause stress for the bulls but also pose a danger to people,” it said on X, formerly Twitter.
“This 19-year-old man has been hospitalized with four horn gashes in Castalla (Alicante) after being charged by a bull. If these festivities cease to exist, we will spare ourselves from these tragedies,” it added.
