An 86-year-old British man is among 57 people injured while taking part in the running of the bulls festival in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona.

The man, from Halesowen in the West Midlands, was taken to hospital on Tuesday – the last morning of the eight-day annual event – after suffering injuries to his right hand, left elbow and right eyebrow. A spokesperson for the festival said the man, who has not been named, was being assessed by doctors but not thought to be badly hurt.
