One trampled as bull run nears end
Pamplona, Spain ? The seventh bull run at the annual Pamplona festival ended Wednesday with dozens of people battered and bruised and one man trampled after tripping in front of a pack of bulls. No one was gored.
Two people were hospitalized after the quick run, which lasted about 2 1/2 minutes. The 31-year-old runner who was trampled was being treated for head injuries. His name was not released. Miguel Angel Redon Larios, 28, had trouble breathing.
Red Cross spokesman Jose Aldaba said 84 people were treated for minor injuries at the scene.
Later Wednesday, a tribute was conducted for American Matthew Tassio, the last person gored to death at the nine-day San Fermin festival in Pamplona. State television network RTVE broadcast a brief memorial to Tassio, who was killed 10 years ago.
Tassio, a 22-year-old from Illinois, had come to Pamplona as a tourist. After a long night among revelers, he decided to run with the bulls in the morning. He tripped and fell in front of the charging pack of animals.

Runners are chased by a fighting bull during a bull run through the streets of Pamplona, northern Spain. Spain's most famous fiesta ends today.
Renowned for its all-night street parties, the festival in this northern city dates back to the late 16th century, though its roots reach back to the era when Spain was first Christianized. It gained worldwide fame in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises.”
Since record-keeping began in 1924, 13 people have been killed during the runs.
Today is the final day of this year’s running of the bulls.
