HOLLYWOOD, Md. — An 83-year-old man was airlifted Monday evening, Sept. 1, 2025, after being struck by a buffalo in St. Mary’s County.

The incident was reported about 6:35 p.m. at a bison farm in the 25200 block of Allston Lane in Hollywood. Emergency personnel arrived to find the injured man in the pasture.

EMS transported the patient to the St. Mary’s County Regional Airport, where he was transferred to a Maryland State Police Aviation Command helicopter, Trooper 7.

He was flown to UM Capital Region Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

A neighbor told The BayNet the farm’s owner, who was injured, had been feeding the bison when one charged. The animal, identified as “Dozer,” reportedly lifted the man by the arm with its horn and flipped him, causing a compound fracture to his leg and possibly his arm.
