(CNN) -- A bull leapt out of a bullfighting arena in Spain and rampaged through the crowd, injuring at least 30 people, local media reported.

A video shown on Spanish television showed the bull charging through the crowded stands, knocking over spectators, including children, at an arena in the northern town of Tafalla on Wednesday evening.

Diario de Navarra newspaper reported that two people were admitted to hospital: a 10-year-old child who was trampled and a 47-year-old who was gored by the bull.

The bull weighed more than 500 kilograms (1,110lb), and 3,500 were packed into the arena for the fight, according to the newspaper.

Eventually employees of the bullring managed to control and kill the bull.
