'Distressed' deer trapped in Ruddington fence for hours freed by fire crews

A young deer was rescued after being stuck in a fence for three hours. Just before 8am on Thursday, April 14 fire crews were called to rescue a young deer that had become trapped in iron fencing off Wilford Road, Ruddington.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said that when firefighters arrived the deer was in "lots of distress". And that firefighters were able to calm the animal, release it and then shepherd it back to safety.

After reviewing CCTV footage a nearby home-owner was able to work out the deer had been stuck for three hours before crews arrived.
