The unnamed man was sprinting ahead of the animal, trying to make it to the safety behind a set of iron bars when the angry animal sent him sprawling to the floor.
And despite his desperate efforts to climb back up, the bull appeared to hit him right in the bottom with one of its horns as he tried to scramble away.
The unfortunate incident happened on the street in Teulada, a small coastal town on Spain's Costa Blanca, during the annual fiesta.
The celebrations begin on April 8 and last until April 19, and include floatillas and parades celebrating the town's patron saint, Sant Vicent Ferrer.
As part of the fiesta, large, aggressive bulls are let loose to run around the streets, with local and visitors invited to run alongside them.
The challenge is to tease the animals before escaping behind one of the wooden pallets or iron bull bars to safety.
Websites advertising the bull running recommend leaving the sport to the experienced locals, noting that the animals are faster than people think, and that it is mostly foreigners that get injured.
While it is not known where this man came from, he was seen limping away to be tended by medical crews after the attack.
He was not though to have been seriously injured.
