Apparently, bison roughing up tourists is not restricted to Yellowstone National Park or elsewhere in the United States.
The accompanying footage, captured in the Bialowieza Forest in Poland, shows a European bison knock a tourist down as he attempts to stand after a previous takedown.
The footage is somewhat reminiscent – although not nearly as dramatic – of footage captured last month in Yellowstone, showing a bison chasing a tourist and launching him airborne.

In this case, according to TVP World, the tourist intentionally approached the European bison, triggering a response.
He was ultimately rescued by other tourists after the bison was distracted by a moving vehicle.
Unlike the Yellowstone tourist, who suffered a broken femur and required a hip replacement, the tourist in Poland was not seriously injured.
TVP World credits Grzegorz Rynski for the footage, which can also be viewed via Facebook.
The Bialowieza Forest, in Poland and Belarus, is home to an estimated 900 free-roaming bison.
