You’re running late for work and an elk is blocking the road… What do you do? What a guy in Colorado did in this scenario has a lot of people pretty upset!

There’s a video shared by AccuWeather featuring a man in Evergreen who was running late for work when he encountered an elk blocking his path.

He approached the elk, which seemed to charge towards him, so he threw his coffee at it.

Bystanders started arguing with the man who yelled back that he was running late for work…

Beware that there is offensive language in the video:
