Two Britons and an American have been gored during the traditional running of the bulls in the Spanish city of Pamplona.
The three were injured as thousands of daredevils dashed through the streets ahead of six fighting bulls on the third day of the annual San Fermin festival.
Just before the bulls entered the city's bullring one bull - named Furgado, meaning Escapee - broke free from the pack and charged at them as they huddled on the ground next to a wooden fence, a Navarra government statement said.
Stick-wielding cowherds eventually lured the 550kg black bull away.
One Briton, aged 20, was gored in the right leg and the other, 29, in the left leg. The 39-year-old American was also gored in the right leg. All three were treated at the city's Navarra Hospital.
Four other people were treated for cuts and bruises sustained during the 849-metre course, which the bulls took three minutes, 37 seconds to complete.
The morning runs are the highlight of the annual festival, which became world famous with the publication of Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises".
They take place daily until July 14 attracting about half a million people to the city of 200,000 people.
Fifteen people have been killed by bulls in the runs since record began to be kept in 1924.
The bull runs are thought to have started when butchers began running ahead of the beasts they were bringing from the countryside
