Is this the most reckless selfie ever? - PHOTO+VIDEO

When you are being chased by dozens of charging bulls, it is probably not the best time to stop for a selfie.

But this intrepid runner was pictured holding his phone up to take a snap, during the famous ‘running of the bulls’ festival.The picture shows him just inches away from the half-ton animals that are rampaging through the Spanish streets.He is believed to have grabbed the dangerous snap during the final stretch of the fifth bull run at the San Fermín festival in Pamplona on Friday.Spanish police are now hunting the bearded man, who faces a £2,400 fine if caught after a local law was passed preventing runners taking pictures while taking part.The image spread on social media with many people calling the man an ‘idiot’ for putting other runners at risk. Three Spanish men were injured as several thousand people tested their bravery by dashing alongside six fighting bulls through the slippery streets of Pamplona in the sixth running.Oscar Gorria, deputy director of surgical services for the region of Navarra, said one man sustained an arm injury while another had cuts and bruises to a leg.Municipal workers had applied an anti-slip coating on the cobblestones of the narrow streets in a bid to lessen injuries after rain had fallen overnight.Juan Arnal, a city official responsible for street safety, said the large turnout despite heavy rain spurred the decision to spray the cobblestones.Even so, some of the bulls lost their footing. Television footage showed one lucky escape as a man had his T-shirt ripped off by a horn as one of the beasts lifted itself from a tumble.Fifteen people have been killed during the festival since records began in the early 1900s. The nine-day festival was immortalized in Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises. (dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
