Ridgewood Police Officer Paul Dinice got the fawn out of the street after finding it cut on both hips and above one eye.
He attempted to restrain it until animal control workers arrived, but the fawn broke free after about 20 minutes and dashed back into nearby woods.
Glen Rock Police Officer Murray Yang assisted.
