An eyewitness has warned against sightseers getting 'dangerously' close to stags in a Nottingham park just a week after a vistor was attacked. Wollaton Park was closed to the public for two hours on Sunday, October 16 after a walker was injured by a deer.
A male red stag, protective of his does, was said to have approached and injured a member of the public at 8.15am and was put down as a result. The walker, who had been a safe distance away and had done nothing wrong, was taken to hospital as a precaution.
But now an eyewitness has captured footage of park goers on a different occasion getting very close to a young stag. Helen Drury said: "A group of sightseers, just after getting very close to deer despite warnings and using their venture to have a photo with a stag/female deer and a pricket (young stag).
