A New Jersey man is hurt after being gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park. The goring happened after a large group of visitors got too close to the animal.

A bison gored a man Tuesday after a large group of visitors got too close to the animal in Yellowstone National Park, officials said.

The 30-year-old from Randolph, New Jersey, was treated for minor injuries after being gored around 9:45 a.m. in the Old Faithful area, according to a park statement.

Park officials didn’t release the man’s name or condition, saying what happened was under investigation and no more information was available for release.

He was the second person gored by a bison already this spring in Yellowstone. A 47-year-old Cape Coral, Florida, man had minor injuries after being gored in the Lake Village area May 7.

    I’d vote for Joe Bison for president. Love his initiative.

      Is he the one lumbering around the field, confused and dazed?

        Aww, you edited it.

        He does run with the herd more than I’d prefer, but that’s just how he is.
