MADRID // Spanish officials say a French citizen has died after being gored by a bull during a festival in a small town in eastern Spain.
A statement from the town hall of Pedreguer says the 44-year-old man died shortly after 1am Tuesday.
The town hall said the man, identified only by the iniitials L O, had been standing with some friends when he was gored by one of the bulls.
The incident occurred during a running of the bulls being held as part of the town’s summer festival.
The death came as Spain’s most celebrated bull-running festival, San Fermin in Pamplona, came to an end Tuesday. Ten people were gored during the nine-day festival this year but nobody died.
