WATCH: Anne Arundel police sergeant frees stuck deer from fence

BALTIMORE -- An Anne Arundel County police sergeant was in the right place at the right time to save a deer stuck in a fence last week in Friendship, and the department on Tuesday released footage of its rescue. 

Police said Sgt. Matt Hall was flagged down by several people Friday while driving on Friendship Road near Kim Lane. They told him they couldn't free a deer stuck in a fence. 

"So two citizens tried to free this deer at first and were unable to do so, and as you can see in the video, it's like a metal fence, it's almost like a pasture type fence and the young deer got his antlers stuck somehow through the fence," Anne Arundel County Lt. Jacklyn Davis said.

The young buck had its antlers intertwined in the fencing, but Hall was able to maneuver the fence and the antlers head to free it. 

"We don't get to see happy endings hardly at all in our line of work," Lt. Jacklyn Davis said.
