THIS is the heart-stopping moment a terrified reveller is lifted up by a rampaging bull and thrown into another man before being trampled by the furious animal.
The unnamed bull runner was knocked unconscious after being pushed along a street in Pamplona by the half-ton animal before its horn pierced through his jacket near the base of his neck.
The runner collided into another man as he was carried helplessly through the air on the end of the bull’s horn before smashing into a third as he was dumped unceremoniously on the ground.
Slowed-down TV footage showed just how close the animal’s razor-sharp spike came to damaging his vital organs.
A hospital spokesman said later his injuries seemed only “light” after he was pulled to safety unconscious by concerned runners around him and taken away by paramedics with bruising to his face.
The dramatic incident happened on the fourth run of Pamplona’s popular San Fermin festival.
For the second day running there were no gore injuries and only two people, including the man in the footage, were taken to hospital.
The total number of those hospitalised after four days is reportedly 20.

The other man hurt this morning was knocked to the ground by one of the frightened beasts inside the bullring near the end of the half-mile course.
Today’s near-miss was the most dramatic since Saturday’s horror when a 22-year-old American was gored before being dragged along the ground and trampled by a pack of fighting bulls.
He has since been named as Californian Jordan Capra, 22.
The American, who lives in Paris and travelled to Pamplona with a British freelance writer, was gored in the chest.
Speaking with a local newspaper from his hospital bed, he said: “Nothing’s broken and it’s just the skin, flesh and muscle.
“I can’t feel part of my arm and I’m worried it may have affected my nerve endings.
“But I can move it. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I’ll definitely be left with a nice scar.”
Later today, famed one-eyed bullfighter Juan Jose Padilla is due to face two of the bulls that did the morning run.
Padilla, who lost his eye in May 2011 after a bull gored him during a bullfight in Zaragoza, is one of the festival’s star attractions.
Assistant bullfighter Pablo Saugar was left seriously injured in yesterday’s bullfight after being gored in the stomach.
He had a life-saving operation after the drama.
The morning bull-runs and the bullfights in the afternoon are the highlights of the nine-day festival, which attracts a huge number of foreign tourists.
Sixteen runners taking part in the morning runs have been killed at the annual festival, made famous by 1926 Ernest Hemingway novel The Sun Also Rises, since records began in 1910.
The most recent death was in 2009 when 27-year-old Daniel Jimeno, from Madrid, was gored in the neck by a bull called Capuchino.
