An Oregon man was arrested on Aug. 2 for harassing a bison at Yellowstone National Park days earlier.

In a video posted on Facebook, Raymond Reinke of Oregon can be seen pursuing a bison in traffic. The bison momentarily steps off the roadway, but Reinke ushers the bison back towards him as he stands amidst the traffic jam. The bison charges but he evades the charge.
