A video showing a bull goring a woman at a beach in Mexico has gone viral this week. According to Storyful, which shared the video, the incident happened on May 11 in the state of Baja California Sur.

At the beginning of the video, the bull appears to be rummaging through some items under a tent and the woman is either sharing with the animal or taking the items away. Then, the clip jumps to the bull approaching some tote bags a little farther away from the water, so the woman collects the totes. But the bull starts nudging the woman with its head and she drops the bags.
Next, a man's voice can be heard yelling: "You are really playing with it right now. Please don't do that. Please! Please get away!" As the man yells, the woman walks in a circle around the bags and the bull follows and then stops as it inspects one of the bags. The man continues to yell: "Are you kidding me? Jesus. Please get away! Lady, please get away. You're not doing us any favors."
At that point, the woman does a quick step forward as if she's about to grab a bag, but the bull notices her and she notices it and she tries to walk away. And that's when the bull charges, thrusting its horns into her backside and knocking her down. The woman stands but the bull charges again, striking her from the front. She falls to the ground and then the bull continues to ram her while she's down and tries to get back up.
"We tried to fucking tell you," the man yells as the bull gores the woman from behind and rolls her around the sand. At one point, it even strikes her face. Eventually, she curls up on the ground and others divert the bull's attention. After the bull turns and focuses on others, the woman gets up and walks away.
Local media reports that very few official details about the incident, such as the name of the woman and her status, are available because the beach where it occurred is not monitored by a permanent crew. With that said, officials in the area explain that seeing livestock by the roads and even at the beach is normal because there are ranches by the coast. However, they also advise visitors not to feed the animals.
