Police stop Italians from doing a runner at San Fermin…and make them leave a tip
A rowdy group of Italians took the tradition of “running” during Pamplona’s famous festival just a little too far by attempting to bolt of a restaurant without paying.
Officers from the regional police force of Navarra were called in after a group of 15 Italians left the restaurant without paying their bill, which amounted to a whopping €620.

The group had each ordered the special Menu del San Fermin – although one diner opted instead for a plate of salmon tartar – ending with a shot of the local liqor but when the bill finally came, shortly after midnight on Friday night, the group attempted to abscond.
