During the festival celebrations four Hallelujah Bulls are released to run through the town's streets.
But instead of killing the bulls at the end of the run, they are returned to their farms to represent Christ's mercy.
The first bull to be released was Infinito - weighing more than half a tonne.
Nail-biting footage shows Infinito immediately make a beeline for a nearby safety barrier and charge straight into the horrified crowd.

Children - who had been brought to the front of the crowd for a better view of the festivities - can be seen being tossed to the ground and trampled on by the beast.

Infinito finally returned to the parade route after one brave amateur matador with a

cape led it away.

Stunning moment plane passenger is tackled on flight after 'Allahu Akbar' shouts

Then he said 'I've got a bomb, I've got a bomb' - at this point people were confused. I thought he was joking, I mean it's a weird joke." Once the plane was on the ground at Glasgow Airport, police boarded the flight and removed the man. Police confirmed a 41-year-old man was arrested, and counter-terrorism officers are reviewing the footage now circulating on social media.
