A Spanish man has died from his injuries after a bull gored him in the street during a festival in eastern Spain, authorities said.

The 61-year-old man died at a hospital after a bull called “Cocinero” gored him during a running festival in the town of Pobla de Farnals in Valencia region on Saturday, officials there said.

The man suffered four wounds from the bull’s horns, one of them to his lung and liver, Spanish newspaper Levante-EMV reported.

Video posted to social media shows the bull being released into a crowded street and charging at two men standing near a gate.
