On July 9, American author and bull-runner Bill Hillmann was gored by a bull.

It was not Hillmann’s fault: a first-time runner, freaking out, pushed him to the ground while he was attempting to do what the very best runners do and lead a suelto, or loose bull, which had been separated from the herd and had its dominant herding instinct replaced by the offensive one that makes bullfighting possible, into the ring.
