Man gored to death in Japan bull ring


A bull has gored to death a 40-year-old man in southern Japan just a month after attacking his father and breaking the older man's ribs.


Owner Rikiya Tomi was set upon as he tried to show the huge animal to friends on the southern islet of Tokunoshima, broadcaster NHK said on Wednesday. The 1100kg beast speared him in the chest as he tried to entice it from the ring. He was confirmed dead at a hospital two hours later, police said. The bull attacked Tomi's father early last month, breaking a number of ribs, Kyodo News reported, citing an association overseeing the island's bullfighting industry.
