A LOOSE bull sparked widespread panic yesterday (Saturday) afternoon when it escaped onto the streets in an Albacete-province town during the local fiestas.
The animal escaped from its lorry, parked in Elche de la Sierra, at around 15.30 where he and other bulls had been brought for the festivals in the nearby tied hamlet of Peñarrubia.
After galloping around the town for some moments, he is thought to have been stunned with tranquilliser darts.
Nobody was hurt and no damage was caused, according to Elche de la Sierra town hall's Facebook page.
