A tragic event has rocked the "Campo Pequeno" arena in Lisbon, Portugal, where a 22-year-old man lost his life after a strong collision with a bull weighing about 700 kilograms.
Manuel Maria Trindade was part of a traditional Portuguese show when he decided to confront the animal. According to reports from local and international media, he approached the bull and tried to control it by grabbing it by the horns, a dangerous maneuver.
But the bull reacted violently, quickly crashing into the young man, throwing him into the air and then slamming him violently into the side wall of the arena.
Trindade was left lying unconscious, while spectators were left in shock.
First aid was given to the 22-year-old at the scene, before he was rushed to the hospital. There he was placed in an artificial coma, but unfortunately he died within 24 hours, as a result of irrecoverable brain damage.
The tragedy did not end there. Another victim was noted from the ranks of the public. A 73-year-old man, who was following the event from the steps of the arena, lost his life after suffering an attack, suspected by the emotional shock of the moment.
