(AP) PAMPLONA, Spain – Two Britons and an American were gored Monday on the third day of Spain’s famed running of the bulls through the cobblestoned streets of Pamplona in northern Spain. Thousands of daredevil runners charged ahead of six fighting bulls let loose for the annual San Fermin festival, and the three were gored by one that broke free from the pack just before entering the city’s bullring, a Navarre regional government statement said. Aryeh Deutsch, a 38-year-old who has participated in dozens of bull runs at Pamplona, said he tripped and fell amid a crowd of runners as he dashed ahead of the black bull and saw the animal heading toward him as he lay on the ground. “The next thing I know I am underneath him, I can see his belly and I was trying to roll out of the way to get under the fence and yeah he got me, he got me in the right calf,” said Deutsch, an engineer from Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Deutsch didn’t realize at first that he had been gored but got behind the fence when he saw the bull turn around instead of heading toward the ring. It then charged other runners huddled on the ground near the fence, trying to protect themselves from the beast. That’s when the two Britons were gored. After several tense moments, the...
