Five gored in Spain's running of the bulls

At least two people have been injured in the running of the bulls at Pamplona's San Fermin festival.

Officials in Spain say at least two people have been injured but no one has been gored in the fourth day of the running of the bulls at Pamplona's San Fermin festival.

Red Cross spokesman Jose Aldaba says both have been taken to a hospital but neither is in serious condition.

Monday's run along the 850-metre cobbled-street course lasted two minutes and 19 seconds, one of the fastest so far. Five people - four Americans and a Spaniard - have been gored since the runs started on Friday.

In the bull runs, hundreds of people test their bravery and speed to dash through the streets with six fighting bulls without getting gored.

The nine-day fiesta became world famous with Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises.
