A DISTRESSED deer had to be cut free by firefighters after becoming trapped in a town centre fence.
Crew members from Clacton Fire Station were called to Station Road, in Clacton, at about 10.15am on Monday.
Upon arrival it was established a deer was caught-up in a railing and was helplessly struggling to wriggle out of its clutches.
After cutting away at the fencing, the firefighters managed to rescue the unharmed animal by 10:32am, after which it “trotted off happily.”
