       Participants are expected to dodge the bulls and get into the city centre.

       Images from the spectable show locals frantically running through the street of Tafalla as they tried to evade several raging bulls.

       Some weren't so lucky and were either clipped or bulldozed by the ferocious animals.

       Enrique Maya, the Mayor of Pamplona, had previously cancelled the event over Covid concerns.

       The Running of the Bulls is part of an annual festival in San Fermin where six bulls are released into the cobbled streets of Pamplona.

       The festival is meant to honour the patron saint of Pamplona.
