STORY: A Peruvian bullfighter is lucky to be alive after he was gruesomely gored by a bull in the Cuzco region.
On Tuesday Alex Matamoro slipped in the sand of the bullring and fell to the ground leaving him vulnerable to the angry bull.
The bull's horns caught him in the leg and abdominal region and the Matamoro was suspended in the air for several seconds before breaking free from the animal.
Badly injured and losing blood, the man was rushed to an area hospital where, according to local reports, doctors said he was gravely injured and near death.
