Photographer recounts the chaos when a bison catapults a grandfather, sending him feet into the air

A man visiting Yellowstone National Park with his grandson on Friday was tossed into the air by a charging bison after the pair tried to run away from the animal. Park officials confirmed to ABC News that the 65-year-old man was injured at Bridge Bay Campground near Lake Yellowstone on July 10. "Park emergency medical personnel responded and transported him to a nearby hospital," officials said. Professional photographer Mike MacLeod, who owns Studio MacLeod, a studio in Bozeman, MT, said he captured the attack on camera moments after he and his wife arrived to set up camp. He described how quickly the situation escalated.
