Tourist gets tossed eight feet in the air by charging Bison in Yellowstone

A tourist has been left with serious injuries after he was tossed eight feet in the air by a bison at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Footage captured by photographer Mike MacLeod shows the 900kg animal charging at the grandfather, who had been walking through the Bridge Bay campground with his grandson on Friday (10 July).

Mr MacLeod said that the mammal had wandered into the campsite and was “agitated, pissed off and charging anything and everything”.

With help from other bystanders, MacLeod tried to scare off the bison, which eventually ran away.

A spokesman for Yellowstone National Park said: “A 65-year-old man was injured by a bison on the evening of July 10 at Bridge Bay Campground near Lake Yellowstone in Yellowstone National Park. Park emergency medical personnel responded and transported him to a nearby hospital.”
