This is the moment a Spanish town mayor is flattened and injured by a large rolling ball that has replaced animals at the annual bull-run event. The incident took place during the ‘boloencierro’ (‘ball running’) event in the town of Mataelpino in the central Spanish region of Madrid in the third such festival since austerity cuts forced the local authorities to replace bulls with a large rolling ball.
Mayor Javier de los Nietos was hit by the ball and suffered heavy bruising and cuts to the right side of his body as well as a hand injury that needed several stitches, according to local media.
