Zaragoza (Spain), May 10 (IANS/EFE) Eight police teams are on the look out for a bull that escaped over the weekend during a festival in northeast Spain, injuring four people.

The bull escaped Sunday during a festival attended by about 600 people, who lived through “moments of panic” in Longares, a town in Zaragoza province, the town’s mayor, Miguel Jaime Angos, told EFE.

The 400-kg bull jumped a wall and headed into the street, the mayor said.

The bull charged four people, including a woman in her 40s who was gored, said Civil Guard search coordinator Manuel Lopez.

The woman was taken to a Zaragoza hospital, where she is in stable condition after undergoing surgery.

A 35-year-old woman sustained a chest injury and her six-year-old son suffered a cut to a hand that required 10 stitches.
