At least 4 people were killed and about 70 injured on Sunday when part of a stand collapsed at a bullring in the town of El Espinal, Colombia, provincial officials said.

Videos posted on social media showed the section of the stand toppling forward into the ring, where locals were participating in a bull-running event tied to the feast day of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

"There are four dead at this moment - two women, a man and a minor," said provincial governor. 
At least 30 people were seriously injured. There are fears that the death toll will rise further.
A bull also escaped from the stadium and caused panic in the municipality.

"corraleja" - an event where members of the public jump into the ring to run alongside the bulls. compared a Spanish-style bullfight, the bulls are not killed after the fight.
