A bull rammed his horns into the groin of a British tourist on Wednesday as 11 people were injured on the last day of the Pamplona festival in northern Spain, the regional government said.
The 24-year-old man from Yarm in northeastern England was in a "serious" condition in hospital during the eighth and final bull run of the festival.
He was one of four people who were struck by the horns of a bull while the rest were hurt in falls as they raced through the narrow cobbled streets of the city pursued by the animals, a government statement said.
Another foreigner, a 26-year-old man from New Zealand, slightly injured his wrist in a fall during the run which lasted a relatively long four minutes and 23 seconds.
Their injuries brought to 11 the number of foreigners who were injured during bull runs this year: four from Britain, two from Ireland and one each from Australia, Canada, Israel, New Zealand and the United States.
The overall number of injured was 37.
