A female bullfighter was gored in the face by a half-ton bull that ignored the distraction of her swirling pink cape and charged directly into her as she knelt on the ground in an arena in Mexico.

Hilda Tenorio, 32, is recovering in hospital with a broken and punctured upper palate and fractured cheekbones after the incident on May 3 in the city of Puebla, which was caught on video.
