Primed: the bull gets ready to launch its fightback

A Spanish bullfighter was recovering from gland surgery in the Colombian
city of Bogota, after a bull stabbed him in the neck during the final hours
of a bullfight.

Jesus Martinez, better known as "Morenito de Aranda," was close to slaying
his second bull when the animal pierced his neck with one of his horns.

The bullfighter had stabbed the animal twelve times when the bull made what
experts called a "mysterious" recovery.

Valdivio Cepeda, bullfighting announcer said the attack was unexpected as
the bull had been stabbed so many times.

I am fortunate to be alive and be able to tell the tale.

"He (the bull) managed to lift the matador twice and left him with injuries
to his neck and back," he said.

Doctors told the 21-year-old matador that he required a gland removal.

Although he struggled to speak, Martinez managed to share his near death
experience with local broadcasters and said he planned to continue following
"his dream."

"I am fortunate to be alive and be able to tell the tale," Martinez said.

Another man was also injured by the bull but was able to rise promptly to
his feet before suffering major damage.

The bull was killed after several attempts, once arena workers managed to
sedate it and cut its cervical vein.[right]
