Part of a wooden stand collapsed during a bullfight in Colombia on Sunday.

At least four people died and 70 others were injured.

Ulices Castro, spectator:


I jumped from the second floor and broke my foot and right wrist.

Like a domino, the parts of the grandstand folded up one after the other until everything was on the ground.«

Gustavo Petro, Colombia's next president, elected in June, shared a video on Twitter showing the accident from a drone perspective.

He wrote that he was asking the country's local government not to approve any more events where people or animals died.

A terrified bull can also be seen next to the rubble - and people trying to keep him at bay with wooden slats.

Senator Martha Peralta Epiéyu also shared a video of the accident.

She wrote that the incident is another reason to ban bullfighting and cockfighting.

Cruelty to animals in Colombia must stop.

She expressed her condolences to the victims.

A three-year-old child is said to be among the dead.
