A deer had to be rescued by passersby and employees of a nearby garage after it got stuck in railings in the middle of a Norfolk town.
The incident happened at 12.42pm on Thursday (May 2) on Blackfriars Road in Great Yarmouth.
The deer had run into a fence and become stuck when passersby freed it.
One man covered the animal’s head with his jacket while employees from Leechy’s garage used a car-jack to force open the bars.
Firefighters then arrived and advised the rescuers to take the deer to Foxy Lodge, a wildlife rescue centre in the town.
Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service said that the deer was “released using small gear”.
The drama was all over in eight minutes.
Deer sometimes run headfirst into fences, gates or railings but are unable to reverse and get stuck.
