Now to the frightening scene at Yellowstone National Park. 
A grandfather out on a walk with his grandson. 
Was attacked by a charging bison and thrown at least eight feet into the air. 
He was injured but is expected to be okay. 
ABC's Melissa Dunn has the latest tonight. 
These are the heartstoppping moments a grandfather was attacked by a bison at Yellowstone National Park. 
The dramatic video posted online by a professional photographer shows a bison which can weigh more than500 lb charging after the 65year-old flipping him into the air. 
You see the man and his grandchild stop to take photos of the bison. 
Second later, the massive mammal then charges, chasing the family around trees before the man is thrown multiple feet into the air, seriously injuring him. 
>> A bison. Another video shows the bison running past tents at a campsite before the incident. 
The grandfather is lucky to be alive. 
Millions of people visit Yellowstone every year to see the park's famous wildlife. 
Unfortunately, this is not the first time we've seen bison charging tourists. 
As for that 65year-old, he was hospitalized and is recovering from his injuries. 
Yellowstone National Park warns people to keep at least 25 yards away from bison at all times, and if too close, you are warned to retreat immediately. 
Lindsay, so glad to hear he'll be okay.
