Moroccan Man Killed in Spanish Bull Run After Ignoring Safety Warnings

Mohamed, 21 years old and of Moroccan origin, died on Saturday after receiving several horn blows from a bull during a bullfight in Cedillo del Condado (Toledo), a town that has been celebrating its patron saint festival in honor of Saint Anthony of Padua since Thursday.

The young man had been partying all night and had been expelled several times from the arena by the local police and the Civil Guard because he was wearing sandals. They had tried to dissuade him from participating in the bull run, but Mohamed did not heed their advice. This is how he unfortunately got gored by the bull, according to police sources to ABC.

Having received several horn blows from the bull, the young Moroccan died on the spot. The local authorities are trying to reach his family or relatives to inform them of his death. Mohamed would reside in the Basque Country. "No one really knows where he lived, because he told one story to some friends and another to others," the same sources specify.
