Thirteen people were injured in the running of the bulls in Pamplona yesterday. The half-mile dash through the Spanish city's cobbled streets turned chaotic when the six bulls became separated after ploughing into a crowd. Some of the bulls fell and two ended up running on their own, one of which became disoriented and tried to turn around.

Six of the injured runners were Spanish while the rest were from Britain, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Romania and South Korea. They suffered head, rib or other injuries from falling or getting trampled. None were gored.
