French matador Juan Leal was spiked in his buttocks by the bull’s horn during a match yesterday at Las Ventas bullring in Madrid.
It occurred during the 12th day of the San Isidro bullfighting festival.
The bull can be seen covered in blood after it was speared in the back during the bout.
Horrific video then shows the fuming beast circling the matador – before it charges.
Pictures capture the moment the bull’s horn skewered Leal, 26, in the bum.
Crowds can be heard screaming in terror as the bull gets its own back.
Two men run to help as the bovine behemoth throws him into the air and leaves him hitting the dirt.
Leal manages to hobble away in pain and escape.
He kept on the fight, and reportedly later managed to kill the bull.
Leal was taken to hospital following the fight and underwent surgery.
Doctors said he suffered a 25cm wound in his rectum and an exit hole in the gluteal region.
He is expected to make a full recovery from his wounds.
The bull sadly will not, with Leal displaying its chopped off ear to the crowd after the fight.
His surgeon Maximo Garcia Leirado said: “A normal person wouldn’t have been able to stand up or walk.”
The young matador worked as a pizza delivery man when he was training to be a bullfighter.
Pictures show colourful spears hanging out of the bull’s back.
Animal rights groups condemn the sport as cruel and have called for it to be banned.
