The horrific video was recorded at the traditional Bous al Carrer festival in Pucel, in eastern Spain.
During the run, the city's young men are supposed to prove their courage by taunting the bulls on their way to the arena.
But the 50-year-old victim was not actually taking part in the tradition and was only there to watch the event.

He got trapped in front of a safety cage as the bull thundered towards him with its horns lowered.
As horrified spectators looked on helplessly, the bull drove one of its horns deep into his thigh and tossed the man over its head.
Then, as he lay apparently unconscious on the ground, it continued to gore him before trampling him as it ran off.
