It further notes: "It's illegal to willfully remain near or approach wildlife, including birds, within any distance that disturbs or displaces the animal."
The National Park Service confirmed the emergency response and hospital transport but did not specify if the ongoing bison rutting season caused the aggression.
"A 65-year-old man was injured by a bison on the evening of [10 July] at Bridge Bay Campground near Lake Yellowstone in Yellowstone national park," said National Park Service, Official Statement.
The agency added: "Park emergency medical personnel responded and transported him to a nearby hospital. There are no further details to share."
MacLeod detailed the event during a Monday television appearance, explaining that the bison shifted its focus toward the victims after a pickup truck passed by.
"It went from a little bit of amusing to watch to critical emergency," said Mike MacLeod, Photographer.
He stopped recording to intervene once the animal began aggressively moving its head over the downed victim.
"I stopped the video because I could see that [the] bison was standing over him and was pumping his head, very aggressive and agitated.
And I knew that somebody had to distract that thing," said Mike MacLeod, Photographer.
