A reporter has taken to Twitter to share the hysterical moment a herd of wild bison headed towards him, prompting him to run for the hills.

Deion Broxton, a reporter for NBC Montana, explained in the tweet that the herd was walking "right toward him" while he was working in Yellowstone National Park.

This is the moment Broxton runs away from broadcast after spotting a herd of wild bison heading his way:

While the herd is not seen in the video, Broxton is clearly spooked by something as he utters the words, "Oh my god, oh my god. Oh no, I 'ain’t messing with you," before quickly dashing away from the animals.

The clip has since garnered an impressive 64.5k retweets and 322.3k likes.

In a later tweet, the reporter shared a video of the animals, which he filmed once he was far enough away from them.

"Here's the video of the bison I shot once I got a safe distance away lol [sic]," he wrote.

The official Twitter account for Yellowstone National Park was tagged in the original tweet, prompting this reply: "A perfect example of what to do when approached by wildlife! Rolling on the floor laughing Thanks Deion for putting the #YellowstonePledge into action! [sic]"
