He could be facing a €3,000 (£2,400) fine under new rules for the dangerous event.

The restrictions prohibit the unauthorised use of recording devices while the bulls are running through Pamplona's streets.

Footage from the fifth bull run, which took place on Friday, appears to show the man slowing down to take the picture or video.

Despite the dangers, the festival continues to attract tens of thousands of people each year.

The new ban on recording devices is part of a wider crackdown on dangerous behaviour during the intense running.
