In a bizarre scene, a bull leapt out of the bullfighting ring and into the stands at an event in Bayonne, France, goring the president of a bullfighting association and the photographer seated next to him.

The bull first gored the photographer, Roger Martin, in the groin stomach and then goring French Bullfighting Association President Dominique Perron, fracturing his leg, according to a report in Euro Weekly News

Both men were treated for their injuries and the bull was killed, according to the report.

Bayonne is one of the few places in France were bullfighting is still allowed.
