YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. - A Colorado man was hospitalized after being gored by a bull bison at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, officials said.
The 34-year-old man from Colorado Springs on Monday was walking with his family on a boardwalk near the Giant Geyser at Old Faithful, a popular tourist attraction located in the park, when the bull bison charged the group, according to a news release from park officials.
When family members did not leave the area, the animal "continued to charge and gored the male." The man’s arm was injured, and he was taken by ambulance to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, officials said.
The incident remains under investigation. Yellowstone National Park had recently reopened to visitors after destructive floods hit the area.
