'At least four people were killed and hundreds injured when packed stands collapsed during a bullfighting festival.
Horror video showed the three-tier wooden framework crumbling to the ground at the improvised stadium in El Espinal, Colombia.
Several bulls fled the stadium into the streets of Tolima in fright as panicked revellers tried to help those trapped.
Nine festivalgoers were also hurt after jumping into the ring and being charged by a bull, reports infobae.
Four people have been confirmed dead, with at least 500 others injured.

radio station.
Shocking footage shows the moment the stands - packed with hundreds of men, women and children - collapsed.
The boxes can be seen tipping forwards before smashing into the ground. Other audience members fell from other parts of the
stands after a portion caved in. Emergency crews have been sent in to rescue those stuck under the rubble.
It's unclear what caused the stands to collapse.
Major Luis Fernando Vélez, director of Civil Defense in Tolima, said: "There is a patient with serious injuries, he was taken to the
hospital in critical condition, there he was stabilised." Authorities urged people at the stadium and nearby to remain calm, reports

injured for primary care at the San Rafael Hospital in the municipality." Officials are now probing the cause of the incident.
Colombia's new president Gustavo Petro has called for bullfights to be halted. He tweeted: "I hope that all the people affected by
the collapse of the Plaza de El Espinal can come out of their wounds unscathed...'
