This is the terrifying moment a man is gored by the horns of an angry bull after playing hide and seek with the animal.
The 1.5-ton beast had just been released for a bull-running event in Spain when it gored a festival-goer on Tuesday.
The bull gored the man’s torso and threw him into the air after the man tried to sneak around a pillar and play with it.
He was also trampled by the bull after he slipped while trying to avoid the bull.
Other festival-goers, taking cover on concrete pillars, watched in horror.
You see them desperately waving jackets and colorful, makeshift matador capes in an attempt to distract the animal.

The bull eventually left the man alone and he was dragged away for emergency medical treatment, suffering stab wounds to his abdomen, local media reported.
One other festival-goer was seriously injured in the running of the bulls and twelve others were slightly injured.
The incident took place during an event in Tordesillas, Valladolid, where locals released a single bull to run through the town before driving it to a pasture.
The festival, known as Toro de la Pena (Bull of the Virgin), has been held for centuries and is traditionally a way for young men to test their courage.
In the past, this process ended with the stabbing of the bull to death. In 2016, this was stopped after protests from animal rights groups.
The incident follows footage released yesterday showing a 64-year-old man being stabbed in the scrotum during a bull-running event in La Vall d’Uixó, northeast of Valencia.
The bull had just been released from his pen when he charged at the man at breakneck speed.
The man was then held in the air for several seconds before the bull threw him to the ground in front of shocked bystanders.
The victim, identified only as FMN, suffered entry and exit wounds around his groin area from the punch

Before the man had a chance to react, the bull grabbed him with one of its horns on the other side of a metal barrier.
The man was then held in the air for several seconds before the bull threw him to the ground in front of shocked bystanders.
The victim, identified only as FMN, suffered entry and exit wounds around his groin area and was taken to hospital for treatment.
A medical team on site and two doctors who were present as spectators provided first aid to the man.
He was conscious when he was taken to a hospital in nearby Villarreal and will undergo surgery there, local media reported.
