A bull got a small taste of revenge Sunday when he leapt out of the ring during a bullfight and gored the president of a local bullfighting club.
Dominique Perron suffered a fractured leg and a dislocated ankle after the bull sprang over a wooden barrier at the Bayonne Festival in southwest France, French newspaper Sud Ouest reported (http://www.sudouest.fr/2015/08/02/arenes-de-bayonne-deux-blesses-lors-de-la-corrida-2086127-4018.php).

Perron is the head of a local chapter of the Paul Ricard Bullfighting Association.
The bull also gored photographer Roger Martin, who was sitting next to Perron, in the testicles, according to the Daily Mail. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3183922/Bull-gets-revenge-leaps-arena-gores-president-French-bullfighting-association-horrifying-attack-left-screaming-agony.html)
