Bull Jumps Into Crowd at Murcia Bullfighting Fair A 508kg bull named Malacara leapt over a barrier into spectators at the Plaza de Toros de Murcia in Spain on September 20, but no one was injured. A 508kg bull named Malacara leapt over a safety barrier into the crowd at the Plaza de Toros de Murcia in Murcia, Spain, on September 20, during a bullfighting event. The six-year-old animal was being goaded by matadors when it charged, but no spectators were injured. Incident at Murcia BullringSpectators screamed as the enraged half-tonne bull cleared the wooden fence. The bull had been goaded by matadors and suddenly charged at one of the performers. As the matador cowered against the wooden fence, the bull veered sharply to the left and jumped over the barrier.Footage shows the animal flying towards terrified spectators in the front row, including one person who was filming the drama. They were saved only by the concrete wall in front of them. Shocked visitor Juan Perez, seated a few rows back, said he saw the bull jumping over the fence into the crowd with his own eyes. He described the animal as out-of-control and said it was extremely lucky that nobody was injured, noting that women in those seats were close to being gored by the bull's horns.The bull was then seen scampering away along the ringside. It was ushered back onto the sand to continue the bout before being killed, as is the local tradition.Bullfight Details and OutcomeAn official said the bullfighter, Duarte Fernandes, used a killing lance, the rejon de muerte, before a verduguillo, a short sword, was used to deliver the final blow. This was needed to finish the bull. The crowd cheered for the bullfighter to be awarded an ear, which the presiding judge refused, so Fernandes received an ovation instead.The plaza's official report said that Malacara was the sixth and last bull of the afternoon at a mounted bullfight that closed the Murcia Bullfighting Fair. However, they said Malacara had jumped twice into the exit alley at the same event. Officials said that Malacara had originated from the Los Espartales ranch. He was assigned to a Portuguese mounted bullfighter, or rejoneador, named Duarte Fernandes.Similar Bull Incidents ElsewhereThis is not the only time a bull has jumped into a crowd of spectators in recent months. In July, a raging bull seriously injured four spectators after it leapt into a crowd during a bullfight at a Colombian festival.The rampage took place at a Corraleja event, a traditional bull festival where the animal is released into the ring and members of the public can dangerously tease it. Video footage showed the bull seconds after it was released chasing people in the ring before it jumped over a tall red fence and into a large crowd.Cheers of excitement quickly turned into screams of panic as people fled the stands, with some even jumping into the ring to escape. One woman was hit and trampled by the bull as she tried to run away around the stand. A fearless man then grabbed the bull by the tail, allowing others to quickly escape. Bizarrely, as the carnage unfolds, a matador calmly walks across the bullring brandishing his red cape in an apparent attempt to get the bull's attention.
