Police body cam footage from Michigan caught a strange interaction last week after a deer broke into a 103-year-old woman’s assisted living apartment.
The body camera footage came from officers with the Blackman-Leoni Department of Public Safety and showed their heroics as they helped save the elderly woman, who suffered injuries from the incident.
The officers can be seen in the video breaking the glass of the woman’s living room patio door on Monday evening to allow the buck, which was “thrashing” and crashed through her bedroom window, out of the apartment.
The incident happened at the Arbor North Living facility in Blackman Township and was reported to police by workers at the facility, who were unable to check on the resident because the buck was in her room.
Officers Ryan Martin and Luke Bradley first saw the deer in the living room near the patio door from the apartment’s hallway door. There was also blood in the apartment, indicating that the animal had been “thrashing around in an attempt to escape.”
The footage captured by the officers showed the buck moving around inside the living room and looking out the patio window before trying to get out by running at it at full speed.
In an attempt to get the buck out of the resident’s room, one of the officers used his baton to break the glass, allowing it to escape into the woods.
The officers quickly attended to the resident, who was conscious and alert but was quickly rushed to the emergency room with non-life-threatening injuries, the department shared in a release.
The deer has not been located.
