An octogenarian from England is among the latest to learn why Pamplona's famed bull runs come with a warning label. The 86-year-old man from Halesowen in the West Midlands was hospitalized Tuesday, the last day of the eight-day San Fermín festival, with injuries to his hand, elbow, and eyebrow, the Guardian reports. Officials said he was under evaluation but not believed to be seriously hurt. He was by the far the oldest of ten people injured in Tuesday's run, reports Sur.

The British man was one of a total of 57 people injured this year. Two Spanish participants were gored on Tuesday—an 18-year-old in the thigh and a 46-year-old in the chest—with neither in critical condition. Miami Beach man Ander Etxanobe suffered a compound ankle fracture in Saturday's run but said he plans to return, CBS Miami reports. The famous runs, in which crowds dressed in white and red sprint ahead of six bulls on a half-mile course to the bullring, have claimed at least 16 lives since 1910. The last person to die was a 27-year-old Spanish man who was fatally gored in 2009.
