Firefighters rescued a fawn that got stuck in a metal fence in Southampton.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service said a crew helped the young deer whose hip had got stuck in the fence in Vermont Close at about 16:00 BST on 26 May.

A force spokesperson said the "fawn was on the fence about which way to go" but was quickly freed after a crew used a hydraulic spreader to bend the metal.

The fawn's mother was waiting nearby and the spokesperson said she had "deer-ly missed [it]" while stuck.
