Man accused of kicking bison at Yellowstone National Park is injured by animal and then arrested on alcohol charge

A man who kicked a bison in the leg was then injured by the bison in Yellowstone National Park, according to park officials, marking the first such time a visitor was injured by one of the iconic animals at the park this year.

Park rangers arrested and jailed Clarence Yoder, 40, after he was treated for minor injuries, officials said Monday.

Rangers got a call about the man allegedly harassing a bison herd and kicking one of them about seven miles inside the park's west entrance on April 21. Officials did not disclose how the bison injured the man or whether it tried to gore him.
