THE bull charged and Christian Hernandez took off - across the ring, over the wall and into controversy.
The admittedly terrified matador was arrested after Sunday's botched bullfight at the Plaza Mexico, apparently for breach of contract, local media reported. He was released after paying a fine.
"There are some things you must be aware of about yourself," the 22-year-old Mexican said. "I didn't have the ability, I didn't have the balls, this is not my thing."
In a sight rarely seen in bullfighting, Hernandez made a spin with his red cape at the charging bull, then ran across the ring and leapt headlong over the wall to safety. The crowd hooted in derision.
He later announced his retirement from bullfighting.
