Parents used bear spray to fend off grizzly bear that attacked their 10-year-old son at Yellowstone National Park
The family had been walking on a trail southeast of the famed Old Faithful geyser during a snowy day on Thursday when a grizzly bear knocked the boy to the ground and bit him in the back, park officials told KTMF.
Park rangers confirmed the attack to the local station.
After the family used the spray to save the boy's life, they returned it back to the rental store.
The family said the spray "worked immediately," employee Sarah Kosey told KTMF.
"They were just thankful that they had it with them at the time," Kosey said.
None of the three victims who died as a result of a bear attack in the last decade used bear spray, according to KTMF.
