Two hurt on fourth day of Pamplona bull-run festival

Two people suffered minor injuries on Monday on the fourth day of the San Fermin festival, where a dozen bulls chase hundreds of people dressed in white with red neckerchiefs through the streets of Pamplona in northern Spain, Reuters has reported.

Thousands of tourists arrive from all over the world to run alongside locals, making San Fermin the most famous of the 'bull-run' festivals that take place across Spain during the summer months.

"The festival has religious origins dating back to the Middle Ages. Participants still chant to an image of San Fermin and ask for his blessing before the run, which lasts from 3 to 5 minutes," the agency added.

"Once all the bulls have safely entered the corral inside the town's bullring, the run is over," it said.
