The incident occurred during the first session of the 'bous al carrer', held as part of the Nazareno festivities in Xàbia in 2026. The victim, an Italian national, fell awkwardly from the square's fountain as the bull approached, sustaining a severe head injury.
The fall caused significant commotion among the spectators. Several individuals helped remove the man from the square, as the bull was still roaming the area. Emergency medical services covering the bullfighting event attended to him immediately.
“"He was conscious when attended by the medical services."
After receiving initial treatment, the man was transported by ambulance to Dénia Hospital. The presence of a doctor in the square is essential for the continuation of bull-running events, and their absence while accompanying the injured man led to the session being suspended earlier than scheduled.
