GRIMSBY FIREFIGHTERS TO THE RESCUE OF DEER TRAPPED IN STREET RAILINGS

A DEER that became trapped between railings on a Grimsby Street was released thanks to smart work by Humberside Fire and Rescue.

The animal was in a distressed state when the alarm was raised not long after daybreak on Wednesday.

But, using battery-powered spreaders, the team were able to release the deer from the railings located on Tintern Walk.

The creature appeared to be slightly injured, but it was fit enough to run off to the nearest fields.
