Suddenly the bull returns to run at the stand once again before picking up speed and leaping into a crowd of people after clearing the security barrier.

Screaming can be heard as the animal lands on its feet and begins running wild among the people in the crowd.

The panicked spectators run in all directions in a bid to get out of the path of the enraged animal and some can even be seen heading into the ring.

According to local publication Canal N, several people were gored by the animal although none were seriously injured.

The paper also reported that none of the bull fighters at the event had wanted to fight the bull, prior to the incident, due to its ferocity.

The event is now being investigated by district authorities due to the lack of security present.

Bullfighting is a popular sport in Peru with around 540 fights being organised in the country every year.
