Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Peruvian novice bullfighter Joaquín Caro suffered a severe chest and back contusion after being caught by a bull at the Calasparra festival in Murcia.
  • Doctors treated him in the arena infirmary before transferring him to a hospital in nearby Caravaca de la Cruz for radiological tests.
  • Mariscal Ruiz produced the afternoon's strongest performance, while all three bullfighters finished without awards.

Joaquín Caro was caught by the bull as he began his muleta work during the third bout at the Espiga de Oro Fair in Calasparra, Murcia, on Sunday. The Peruvian novice bullfighter suffered a strong contusion to his chest and back, with severe pain that prevented him from continuing.

After receiving treatment in the arena's infirmary, Caro was taken to a hospital in the nearby town of Caravaca de la Cruz for radiological examination.

Sevillian novice Mariscal Ruiz delivered the most notable performance of the afternoon. Portuguese bullfighter Joao D'Alva completed the bill, but all three fighters went without awards.

The event featured novillos from the Concha y Sierra and Prieto de la Cal ranches. The animals varied in presentation and offered little play. The arena was three-quarters full on a hot afternoon.
