Pamplona, Spain – An American was gored and five other runners were injured Wednesday in the next-to-last running of the bulls at Pamplona’s San Fermin festival, officials said.

One of the six bulls crashed into a group of runners close to a fence, goring Mathew Labin, 39, in the thigh and lifting at least two others into the air with its horns.

The Navarra regional government said Labin’s condition was not serious. His passport showed he was born in New Jersey, the hospital said, but it had no information about his current residence.

Four Spaniards were treated in city hospitals for bruises. Navarra Hospital said another American, Jake Ramirez, 53, was treated for an ankle injury and released.

Twelve people, including four Americans, have been gored since the runs started July 7.
