PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — A Spanish hospital says five people were injured but none gored during the second-to-last day of the running of the bulls in Pamplona.

Navarra Hospital said all five were hurt — in the back, arm, face or leg — in falls, or when they were stepped on during a very fast run with bulls from a Seville ranch known for particularly swift dashes at Spain's most popular summer festival.

One light brown bull running at the edge of the pack knocked people down as if they were rag dolls.

Half-way through the run, one man fell and got up to find the bulls, along with bell-tinkling steers that run with them, right on top of him. He managed to scurry away to safety.

The last of eight runs is Saturday.
