According to witnesses, the 20-year-old victim was knocked unconscious after the collision.
Just seconds later, the bull returned before onlookers could rush to rescue the young man.
The bull then toyed with his unconscious body and turned him over to expose a large blood stain beside him.
The beast then digs in his horns and shakes its victims around as he lies motionless on the floor while shocked members of the crowd scream and yell for help.
According to the local newspaper, Diario de Yucatan, the victim suffered a traumatic head injury but remains alive.
Director of Emergencies of the Ministry of Civil Protection, Ricardo Maza Limon, said the man is currently in hospital but is in a stable condition.
During the event, held last Friday, known as the "Xiqueñada," 20 bulls were released, with an approximate weight of 400 kilos each.
