This is the horrific moment a 64-year-old man was gored in the scrotum during a traditional bullfight in Spain.
The bull had just left its corral when it charged towards the man at breakneck speed.
Before the man had a chance to react, the bull grabbed him with one of its horns from the other side of a metal barrier.
The man was then left suspended in the air for several seconds before the bull threw him to the ground in front of shocked spectators.
The victim, identified only as FMN, suffered entry and exit wounds around the groin area and was taken to hospital for treatment.
