WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT
A Spanish matador is lucky to be alive after a bull pierced his neck during a fight at the San Isidro Fair in Madrid on Thursday.
Spectators watched on in horror as Saul Jimenez Fortes was thrown from the animal and gored in the stomach.
He was then lifted by his neck and dragged across the sand.
Fortes was rushed from the ring and taken to hospital in a serious condition.
Local media report the bull's horn bruised both his carotid artery and jugular vein and doctors say his prognosis is 'grave'.
It’s believed to be the second year in a row Fortes has been injured while competing at the event.
