 Jose Tomas, one of the best-known members of the Spanish bullfighting community, in critical condition after being gored in Mexico.

Jose Tomas, one of the best-known members of the legendary Spanish bullfighting community, was severely gored during a performance Saturday and is in serious condition in a Mexican hospital. According to BBC,  he sustained a torn vein and artery when an 1,100-pound bull's left horn drove four inches deep into his groin.

Tomas, 34, was operated on at the scene before being moved to the hospital. He needed 17 pints of blood and has not regained consciousness, the AP reports. In the aftermath of this shocking turn of events, the announcer at the ring in Aguascalientes appealed for fans in the crowd who share his rare blood type, A-negative, to donate blood.
