![[BREAKING] Massive bull bison tosses Yellowstone tourist into the air like a ragdoll in shocking attack](https://nypost.com/wp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F2%2F2026%2F07%2Frolling-sand-evening-bridge-bay-134180630.jpg?w%3D1024)
A huge male bison threw a tourist into the air, seriously injuring him, in a thrilling attack caught on camera in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
Video shows the unidentified man being tossed 8 feet in the air like a ragdoll by a wild bison at Bridge Bay Campground on Friday, Cowboy State Daily reported.
The tourist was walking with his grandson when the powerful herbivore attacked.
The video shows the man running through a pine forest to try to escape the bull, which moments before was taking a dust bath.
Suddenly, the bison attacked the two tourists and then brutally head-butted the older bearded man, catapulting him into the air.
"I was just trying to get some dramatic pictures of that bison having a fit.
It's changed my idea of what to expect from these guys this time of year, because I wouldn't have predicted that would happen," Montana photographer Mike MacLeod, who took the photos, told Cowboy State Daily.
"He [the bison] started walking through the camp.
He was approaching a group of kids, who were taking pictures with their cell phones from a good distance away, and then the buffalo attacked these kids," MacLeod said.
"I had to get the bison's attention.
I was really afraid it was going to gore the guy on the ground, so I stopped filming and ran up to the bison, yelled loudly and tried to be as big and intimidating as possible," MacLeod said.
When the bison disappeared, MacLeod and others rushed to help the victim.

The man was in a lot of pain, particularly in his hips and the leg he landed on, but MacLeod and others could not see any external injuries.
"One guy held his hand.
Another guy checked security outside to make sure the bison didn't come back.
A girl in a car was on the phone with 911, and another girl did a blood test, but we couldn't find any blood," MacLeod said.
No update has been released on the condition of the man thrown by the bison.
MacLeod said the bison probably attacked because it was feeling territorial due to the current mating season, which runs from June to September.
During this time, male bison may show extra energy and aggression as they compete for dominance and females.
"You could tell [the bison] was agitated, angry and attacking anything," MacLeod added.
