VIDEO: Baby Deer Cries As Glen Rock Police Pry It Loose From Fence

GLEN ROCK, NJ — D'oh! A deer!

A baby deer was stuck in a fence in front of a home in Glen Rock, N.J. last week, until local police managed to get it unstuck.

Then, the deer ran fa, fa, fa, away, according to the bodycam (see the footage below).

After the police posted a video of the rescue on Thursday, the homeowner said that Bambi's cries had brought the mother deer close, but there wasn't a lot the mom could do.

"Shout out and big thanks to the GRPD!!!" wrote the resident. "That was my house this morning! The crying brought the big mother deer, but our two wonderful officers of Glen Rock Police Department - NJ didn’t miss a beat getting the little one out safely!!"

The state of New Jersey says, "If you find a young fawn laying alone, leave it there. The mother comes back several times each day to nurse the fawn. If you’ve already picked the fawn up and brought it home – put it back. Even one or two days after removal from the wild, fawns have been successfully reunited with their mothers.

"Adult deer spend much of the day feeding and loafing. Fawns that are not strong enough on their legs to keep up with the adults are left behind.

Usually young fawns are quite safe because their color pattern and lack of scent help them to remain undetected until their mother’s return."
