Occasionally, newspapers have stunning photographs of some event which shows a snapshot in time and leaves you both amazed and wondering what happened next to the people in the image.

I spotted a great example of this today on the front page of the Telegraph but, unfortunately, they do not have the picture online.

However, The Washington Times, thankfully, has both the story and the picture (produced below) :

A bull leapt into the packed grandstands of a Spanish bullring and ran amok, charging and trampling spectators and leaving 40 people injured, regional officials said Thursday.Video showed the bull jumping several yards high out of the ring, clearing two barriers before landing in the stands and raising a panic as he lurched through the screaming crowd, charging and tossing everything he could.

The 1,100-pound animal was brought under control by experienced bull handlers after several minutes and later killed.

The incident occurred Wednesday at the Tafalla arena in the northern region of Navarra during an event attended by about 3,500 spectators, in which mostly young people try to get a bull to charge at them so they can dodge it. Unlike standard bullfights, the bulls are not killed in these events.

The bull had already attempted to jump into the stands twice. After damaging a horn, he was about to be returned to the corral and replaced with another bull when he tried a third time and succeeded.

I really, really want to know what happened to the guy in front of the bull who appears to be smiling a resigned sort of smile as a half tonne of pissed off beef is rapidly heading his way.

A perfect newspaper photo in my humble opinion.

And, as a reminder, these bulls don’t mess about given half the chance :

I think that would need more than a paracetamol and plaster to fix.
