This is the moment police officers responded to a possible bank robbery only to find a deer trapped inside.
Officers at Suffolk County Police responded to a burglary alarm at Ridge Bank, in Long Island, New York, on January 18, 2026.
When the officers arrived, they were met with an unexpected intruder - after a deer had got trapped in the building having crashed through the window.
Video footage shows the moment a police officer climbs through the window and attempts to rescue the deer.
As the deer frantically attempted to escape on its own, officers were able to lasso the animal and guide it safely to freedom.
Suffolk County Police Commissioner, Kevin Catalina, said: "The deer was not charged in this case, he lives to break in to another bank on another day.
"I think it just goes to show what cops go through daily - you never know what your day is going to bring you."
