The incident happened on Sunday, March 26 around 10:30 a.m., when a man told police that a deer had become stuck between two wrought iron gates in Bedford on Sarles Street, according to Bedford Police Lt. Jeff Gulick.

Soon after this, Officer John Moylan and the man who found the deer began working to free the animal, using a hydraulic spreader to widen the opening between the iron bars to allow the deer more room to free itself, as seen in a bodycam video of the incident released by Bedford PD.

After a slight push, the deer was able to slip free and ran off seemingly uninjured, Gulick said.
