Poškodovani so stari med 18 in 68 let, so navedli organizatorji. Med drugim je 29-letnega Američana bik z rogom zabodel v levo ramo, 23-letni moški pa je utrpel pretres možganov.

Tradicionalni tek z biki poteka na praznik v čast mestnega svetnika San Fermina. V času praznika skupina ljudi vsako jutro skozi ulice Pamplone preganja šest bikov, nekateri od njih tehtajo več kot 600 kilogramov, in več volov. Tek na približno 825 metrov dolgi progi do bikoborske arene vsako leto privabi na tisoče gledalcev.

Pri tem sodelujejo predvsem mladi moški, vsako leto pa se jih ob preganjanju bikov poškoduje na desetine. Od leta 1924 so zaradi te praznične dejavnosti zabeležili 16 smrtnih žrtev, zadnjo leta 2009.
