“His other horn went right into my leg and I didn’t feel a thing,”
said Mr Couchman. “I managed to jump onto a wooden barricade and then
over it to safety. Then I noticed that my trousers were torn and so were my
underpants. Then I saw the hole in my thigh.”
Mr Tarff, who was being treated in a bed alongside Mr Couchman added: “It
was a feeling of sheer panic when I saw the bull stop, turn round and run
towards me.
“I was trapped against the barriers with people crowded around me and no
fast way out.
“I felt its horn go through my leg. It was like being stabbed with a
large knife.”
A 39-year-old American was also gored. Fifteen people have been killed during
the annual 8 day festival since records began in 1911, the most recent three
years ago.
