Dad, 30, Gored to Death by Bull in ‘Street of Hell’

The man was killed at a notorious street festival, renowned for the ferocity of its bull runs.

A young father has been gored to death by a raging bull at a festival known as “the street of hell.” Santiago Barrero San Roman, 30, a fighting bull breeder, was taking part in the San Marcos festivities in Beas de Segura, southern Spain, on Friday when the animal turned on him, the Daily Mail reported. The annual event takes place on Calle Palomares, and won its nickname for its ferocity. Footage showed the rancher diving behind a wooden barrel for cover before the bull tossed him aloft and pummeled him along the cobbles. Onlookers desperately tugged at a rope tied to the beast to drag it off, but Roman was pierced through the torso by one of its horns and was pronounced dead within the hour, leaving a wife and a young child. Festival organizers expressed their “deep sorrow” and held a minute’s silence before the event resumed.
