A man has died after being gored by a bull during a summer festival in a southwestern Spanish town.

The man was standing at a protective barrier in Coria’s bull ring when the bull charged and managed to get a horn between the barrier’s vertical tube bars to gore him twice, town spokeswoman Clara Iglesias said.

A video of the goring, which occurred last night, was posted on several Spanish news websites.

The 43-year-old man died later from injuries to the abdomen and chest in Coria’s hospital, a town hall statement said. He was from a neighbouring town.

Fiestas featuring bulls are common in Spain and many people are injured each year.

Spain’s most famous bull-running event is in the San Fermin festival in Pamplona in July.
