Teen matador narrowly escapes death

China Daily | Updated: 2007-04-18 06:45

A 14-year-old matador who left Spain to escape his home country's ban on young bullfighters was nearly gored to death in a Mexican ring, his lung punctured by a 414-kilogram bull.

Jairo Miguel, who has been bullfighting professionally in Mexico for about the past two years, was fighting at the Aguascalientes Monumental Bull Ring on Sunday when a bull named Hidrocalido rushed him at top speed and lifted him in the air, appearing to carry him several yards with one horn firmly lodged in his chest.

"I'm dying, dad, I'm dying," he choked immediately after the goring.
