WE SAVED BAMBI: Moment Kindhearted Cop Rescues Young Deer Buck Stuck Between Fence Bars

This is the moment a kindhearted police officer rescues a young deer buck that was trapped between the metal bars of a fence.

The incident took place in the city of Duluth, which is located near Atlanta, in the US state of Georgia, with the cops saying on 5th December that they had "saved Bambi".

The body cam footage shows the police officer, who has been named as Officer Lucas, being escorted by an OAP to the deer.

The police officer tells the unnamed old lady that he can definitely try to see if he can help the deer out.

He approaches the terrified animal, which can be seen trying to escape, with the police officer saying that the deer might even be able to free itself.

But as it struggles, it becomes apparent that it cannot free itself and the police officer walks over and gently pulls on one of the bars, giving the young deer buck enough room to escape.

It can be seen running off as the footage ends.

Newsflash obtained a statement from the Duluth Police Department saying: "We saved Bambi. Sometimes even your neighbourhood deer needs our help!

"Thankfully, the Duluth Police Department was called to help this young deer stuck in a fence along Peachtree Industrial Blvd. Officer Lucas arrived and rescued the little one."
