A bull has once again escaped from a livestock farm in Collado Villalba, causing a new incident with at least three people injured, two of them seriously, who have been transferred to Puerta de Hierro Hospital.

The event has generated disbelief and indignation among local residents, who criticize that the farm owners have not repaired the area through which the animal had already managed to flee yesterday afternoon. Personnel from the Local Police, Civil Protection, and Civil Guard are working to locate and return the animal to the plot.
Yesterday's incident involved a young bull weighing between 300 and 400 kilos that approached the swimming pool of a residential area. On that occasion, agents from the SEPRONA (Nature Protection Service) of the Civil Guard managed to control the situation and return the animal to the farm.

"The bull is in the field between La Chopera and the Hospital. We were walking the dog and it's still loose, we had to run, and thankfully the dog saved us. It's a good thing nothing happened to him, because it was two meters away, and with all the trees and plants grown, we didn't even realize."
