The mayor of Pinoso himself, Lázaro Azorín, confirmed that the wounded man was immediately transferred by the health services of the event to the city of Alicante due to the seriousness of the goring, which caused a great loss of blood.

The man is hospitalized in an intensive care unit, awaiting his evolution in the next few hours.
