Bull leaps into crowd; 40 injured

MADRID - A bull leaped into the packed grandstands of a Spanish bullring and ran amok Wednesday, trampling spectators and leaving 40 people injured, regional officials said yesterday.

The bull jumped several yards high out of the ring, clearing two barriers before landing in the stands and lurching through the screaming crowd, charging and tossing everything he could.

The animal was brought under control by experienced bull handlers and later killed. - AP
