Spectator Injured After Bull Jumps Into Crowd At Canadian Finals Rodeo

A female spectator was injured Friday night when a bull leaped over the railing and into the crowd during the Canadian Rodeo Finals at the Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta.

Footage of the incident shows the bull hurdle over the fence and land in the stands, where several spectators were seated. Thankfully, pickup man Gary Rempel was able to lasso the bull by one horn on its way into the stands. The injured spectator was conscious, but suffered severe back pains and numbness in her legs as she was stretchered off and taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital. Several others received some bumps and bruises, but were able to avoid any severe injuries.

Here is a look at the incident, which was recorded by an onlooking spectator. You can see the bull, Rewind, leap into the crowd at the 2:25 mark.
