This is the terrifying moment a raging bull gores a helpless rodeo cowboy before sinking its horns into a horse.
Graphic footage shows the man being knocked off his horse and repeatedly speared in front of panicking spectators at an arena in Ticul, Mexico, on Wednesday.
The rampaging beast flung him across the dirt like a rag doll and then viciously skewered a fallen horse after a team of riders failed to snare it with their lassos.
The wounded man somehow managed to get up and stagger away from the savage attack – which has been viewed more than 100,000 times online.
Shocking video – filmed by a fan in the stands – shows the bull charging into a horse’s legs and knocking its rider to the ground.
Unable to outrun it, he curls up in a ball as the ferocious animal clatters into him again and again, drawing screams from the crowd.
It scoops him up by the horns and tosses him several feet along ground into the legs of oncoming horse, tripping it over and unseating the rider – who flees from the bull.

The injured man emerges from a cloud of dust and is escorted out of harm’s way by a steward.
The bull then stabs the horse in the side and its shriek can be heard above the crowd.
Incredibly, the horse is able to get to its feet and withstands a brutal onslaught from the bull before limping away to safety.
The bull then turns its sights onto the other horses but is unable to catch them – seemingly having injured one of its back legs.

The footage ends with the bull hobbling towards the edge of the arena as the riders close in with lassos raised.
Social media users were disgusted by the footage and called for bull baiting events to be outlawed across the country.
Ani Ambrosio commented: ‘These events only reflect ignorance, savagery! Municipalities should ban them.’
Kefren Medina wrote: ‘Animals are not a toy, let them be in peace. This and bullfighting must be banned.’
Monica Fernandez added: ‘I’m sorry only for the horse and even the bull. They are the victims of those pathetic events.’
