According to the National Park Service, there has been another incident of a visitor being injured in a bison attack at a U.S. National Park, marking the second such occurrence in less than a week.

In this recent incident, a woman from Minnesota who was visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota was hospitalized in stable condition after a bison severely injured her at Painted Canyon Trailhead on Saturday morning.

The National Park Service released a statement on Tuesday providing details of the incident, USA Today has reported.

This news follows an attack the day before at Yellowstone National Park, where a 47-year-old woman from Phoenix was assaulted by a bison.

While walking with another person, they encountered two bison, and as they tried to move away from the animals, one of the bison charged at her.

The woman suffered significant injuries to her chest and stomach.

Medical personnel and park officials provided initial treatment on-site in North Dakota until an ambulance arrived to transport her to a local hospital.

The woman is currently in recovery, but she sustained severe injuries to her stomach and foot.

Park officials are actively investigating the cause of these attacks.
