Two people die and at least 11 others are injured after bulls run through city streets in Mexico during a festival modeled on Spain’s “running of the bulls.” The incidents occur in Huamantla, where fighting bulls are released onto the streets.
Local reports describe the event as part of the Huamantlada, its 72nd edition, held on Saturday. Footage cited by multiple outlets shows people being knocked down or attacked by the animals during the run. The outlets agree on the basic figures—two fatalities and around a dozen injuries—while differing in how they characterize the severity and imagery, with one emphasizing “horrific scenes” and the other describing a “bloodbath.”
Both accounts frame the deaths and injuries as resulting directly from the bull-running activity during the festival, with authorities and organizers expected to investigate or assess safety and circumstances. The reports do not provide additional details such as victim identities, medical conditions, or whether any arrests are made.
