Canadian man is listed in serious condition after he was gored in the famous running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain.
The Festival of San Fermin website lists a 46-year-old Canadian man as one of the 16 people wounded during the festival on Friday, seven of whom were reportedly gored by the charging bulls.
According to the injury report, the Canadian among the goring victims was left with a 10-centimetre wound in his perineum area. The festival website lists the Canadian, with the initials P.C.O., in serious condition in a local hospital.
U.S. reports have said a Canadian man was gored in the scrotum, and the wound also injured the rectum.
The nine-day festival became famous with Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises."
Participants run down a narrow 850-metre course alongside six bulls.
More than 1,000 people took part in Friday's run, which lasted nearly six minutes.
The yearly event attracts thousands of foreign tourists, despite longstanding protests from animal rights groups that say the bulls are tortured and antagonized beforehand, as well as during bullfights which typically conclude with the killing of the animal by a single sword thrust.
