For nine days in Pamplona, ​​the provincial capital of Navarra in northern Spain, the traditional Fiestas de San Fermín are celebrated, where the bullfight takes place.

In this celebration some daredevils guide the bulls through the streets of the city, but this time a terrible accident happened during the celebration.

In a video that was broadcast on social networks, you can see how a gigantic bull charges a young woman who was motionless on the corner of the street, while she was looking at her cell phone.

In the clip, which lasts 42 seconds, it can be seen how the bull follows a crowd of people in the direction of the plaza, however, the young woman is unaware of the situation, believing that the bull would not return to where it was, since that supposedly "if you stay I want to, he doesn't pay attention to you".

But everything got out of control when the bull returns for the young woman and begins to charge her, while other assistants try to help her by hitting the animal so that it gets away from them.

Fortunately, the girl does not have serious injuries, since none of the horns manages to pierce her.

Where does this tradition come from?

This event is also known as "los sanfermines" and is held in honor of San Fermín, the patron saint of Pamplona. Although in its beginnings it was a religious festivity, the Sanfermines are closely linked to the bullfight. In the fourteenth century, the idea of ​​running in front of the bulls arose to lead them in a "simple" way from the corrals located outside of Pamplona to the bullring, where they would be fought. At present, this practice is known as "encierro" and constitutes the first part of the bullfight.
