PMPLONA, SPAIN (AP) -- Three people have been gored in a dangerous last running of the bulls at Spain's San Fermin festival that injured a total of nine people.

It was the most hurt in any day during this year's festival on the slippery cobblestone streets of Pamplona.

The eighth and final running of this year's festival took four minutes and 23 seconds, a relatively long time because the last bull turned and charged backward at least three times, causing panic among runners.

Bulls are at their most dangerous when the pack splits up, leaving individual animals disoriented and irritated by the large crowds.
