A matador in Mexico was gored through the neck by a bull, but the bullfighter later returned the slay the animal. Arturo Macias, 35, was sent to the hospital after he was severely wounded by the bull in San Marco, according to The Independent.

The bull first knocked him over. As he lied in the dirt, the bull then kicked him and rolled him over. The 1,000-pound beast then slams its horns into his neck and chest area. Help then arrives and escorts him from the ground.

According to MailOnline, he was taken to a nearby infirmary, and doctors there told him that he would be risking his life if he went back and fought with the bull. He ignored their advice and returned to finish it off before he was rushed to the hospital.
