A 69-year-old man has been gored to death by a bull in Valencia.
The pensioner suffered serious wounds to the chest, thigh and head on Friday morning.
The bull attacked the man during a bullfighting event in the town of Dos Aguas at around 8.30am.
He was airlifted to the La Fe Hospital in Valencia via helicopter, where he slipped into a coma and ultimately died.
The Dos Aguas town hall said it had suspended all events planned for this Holy Week ‘as a sign of respect and mourning.’
