One man was gored today in the penultimate running of the bulls at Spain's San Fermin festival, hospital officials said.

Navarra Hospital doctor Fernando Boneta said two people were taken to hospital - one with a goring wound to his right arm and another with a back injury.

Live television shots of the early morning dash ahead of six fighting bulls showed the gored man back up on his feet and looking for medical assistance.

The tense run lasted two minutes, 14 seconds - the fastest of seven staged so far.

Several thousand people took part in the event although the crowd was noticeably smaller than in previous runs.

The identities and nationalities of the two casualties were not released.

But the online edition of Pamplona's Diario de Navarra newspaper said the person gored was a 27-year-old man from Madrid.
