A Peruvian bullfighter has been labeled ‘the world’s worst matador’ after he was brutally hit on the butt and leg during his debut match in Madrid.
A video captured the horrific moment when Andrés Roca Rey, 27, is impaled by one of the beast’s huge horns before being thrown into the air like a rag doll.
He is then flipped into a somersault before falling onto the sand and curling up into a ball to try to protect himself.
The crazed animal then launches a second attack and impales the matador’s uniform, shaking him violently as bystanders rush in to help and he lies in a crumpled heap on the ground.
