In the images, which have already gone viral on social media, the girl can be seen running on the sand of Santa Cruz Beach, in the municipality of Praia da Vitória, with the bull behind her.

At one point, the animal knocks the young woman down and she falls, before the astonished gaze of dozens of people who were watching the moment from the sea.


Then the bull gores the girl, who was running with flip-flops in her hand.

The animal ended up being pulled back by the group of men responsible for holding it, while a passer-by dragged the young woman into the sea.

So far it has not been possible to determine whether the girl was injured in the incident, according to NM.
