This is the moment police officers free a fawn of that got trapped in the net of a goal in a person’s backyard.

In a statement obtained by the City of Westlake Ohio Police Department, a spokesman said: “On 5/27 we received a call from a concerned citizen who found that a baby deer was tangled up in their backyard soccer net.

“The neighbours had tried to get to the fawn, but mommy deer was too protective.

“Officers responded to handle the situation as we do many times each day and night (although most don’t involve a cute spotted Bambi).

“Another good job.”

At the end of the video, after being cut free, the officer’s body-worn cameras show the fawn getting on its feet and rushing away to rejoin its overprotective mother.
