Matador is gored in the GROIN and rushed to hospital covered in blood after disastrous performance at Madrid bullring
A matador was gored in the groin and rushed to hospital covered in blood after a disastrous appearance at a Madrid bullring today.
Rubén Pinar was charged by the bull during the Spanish National Day bull fight today, and tossed into the air in front of a horrified crowd.
Amazingly, he continued despite his heavily bleeding wound and was able to lance the bull to bring the fight to a close.
Straight afterwards he was taken to hospital where he was operated on this afternoon. There has been no update on his progress.
Earlier this week, half a dozen matadors were sent flying by a rampaging bull in Portugal, leaving one of the men hospitalised.
Unlike in Spanish bullfighting tradition, the main Portuguese bullfighter battles the animal while on horseback.
