Bull runner takes illegal selfie
- Published
Police in Spain are looking for man they think took an illegal selfie.
The man was taking part in the annual Pamplona bull run and appears to take the picture just inches in front of a bull.
Photographers spotted the man slowing down to take his photo at the San Fermin festival last week.
If caught, he could be fined 3,000 Euros under laws that prohibit participants using cameras.
Tens of thousands of people from all over the world go to Pamplona to take part in the famous bull run.
But officials at the event have come under increasing pressure to stop daredevils putting themselves, and others, at risk of injury.
Each bull weighs more than half a ton and every year dozens of people get gored as they try and escape.
The use of any recording equipment has been banned so participants don't become distracted.
The streets are chaotic as runners, known as "mozos", fall and get trampled by the bulls.
Fifteen people have died in the event since records began in the early 1900's.
A twitter campaign has been launched to find #eltontolmóvil - 'the idiot with the mobile'.
Police say his actions put other runners in danger while one Spanish reporter wrote in El Muno that it was ""one of the best examples of human stupidity" he'd ever seen.
