Pamplona, Spain, The renowned San Fermín festival drew to a close in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona today, with seven further people receiving injuries during the traditional running of the bulls. The eight and final bull run of the festival, which begins every year on 7 July, saw seven people suffer minor injuries such as bruises and concussions, the TV station RTVE reported. In total, 36 runners were hospitalized in this year's festival. The final bull run started at 8 am with fireworks being set off before six bulls were released into the streets, filled with thousands of spectators running towards the bullring more than 800 metres away. The festivities can prove fatal when runners are caught on the bulls' deadly horns. Since 1924, 16 fatalities have been recorded at the festival, with the last coming in 2009. Most injuries during the event occur when runners collide when trying to avoid the bulls. Source: Oman News Agency
