Everyone's a bison. 
>> This was the terrifying scene at Yellowstone National Park, a bison charging toward a man and a young person. 
Moments before, the two taking photos from a distance as it lays down. 
When the animal gets up and bolts in their direction, they try to run and hide as the bison chases the man around a tree, shakes another one, and then the bison slams into that man with brutal force, throwing him feet into the air. 
>> It was like watching uh a bulldozer move out at 45 miles an hour. 
>> Photographer Mike McCloud recorded that video, but stopped and ran to help. 
>> And when you approached this man, how is he 
>> Uh he was in a lot of pain. 
Um he was conscious, I think, the entire time. 
>> The National Park Service confirming a 65-year-old man was injured by a bison 
and taken to the hospital. McCloud says he's in touch with the man's family. 
>> It sounds like uh he has a broken leg in several places. 
The doctor said that he probably could would recover, but it's going to be a long recovery. 
>> The man's family telling NBC News he underwent surgery and remains at the hospital. 
This incident, the second in just 2 months at the park. 
In June, a 12-year-old was also hurt by a bison. 
The National Park Service says people should always stay more than 25 yards away from them and to run away IF ONE CHARGES. 
A FRIGHTENING incident at one of America's most iconic parks.
