Colombian bullfighter died after being gored by a bull at the 'corraleja' festival in Fundación, Magdalena, causing panic among the crowd.
In a horrific incident recorded on camera, a Colombian bullfighter was killed after taunting the animal. He was gored to death during a festival.
The victim, Yovanis Márquez, 35, participated in the 'corraleja,' a bullfighting festival in the small town of Fundación in the northern Colombian region of Magdalena. As the incident occurred, panic spread across the crowd and people started running.
As per the footage, Márquez tries to dominate a huge bull by leaping over it, but he could not get through and instead the animal attacks him multiple times. He can be seen flying in air after bull hits him with its horn.
The video shows locals escorting Márquez away, but he later succumbed to the injuries, as per the local media.
Colombian animal rights group Plataforma ALTO shared the video on X and called it an act of 'self-defense'. 'The man passed away yesterday after being gored by an injured bull, in an act of self-defense, during the 'festivities' of the municipality," the post reads.
One of the eyewitnesses told El Tiempo, 'He stood up as if he was fine, but the blood was flowing. It was only a few seconds before he fell to the ground."

A man was arrested after AFC Bournemouth forward Antonie Semenyo reported racial abuse directed at him from the stands during a game against Liverpool at Anfield Stadium.

'The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together," Semenyo's social media post read.
