Five people have been taken to hospital after being injured during the running of the bulls at the San Fermín festival in Pamplona, the Red Cross has said. Two sustained arm injuries after falling, two others had head contusions and one sustained a thorax injury. Across seven days in July, thousands of people, many wearing traditional white shirts with red scarves, line the streets of the northern Spanish city to take part in the centuries-old tradition of running through the streets in front of a group of bulls.
