Four fire crews have released a deer that got stuck in fencing near Bury St Edmunds.

Firefighters were called to the distressed muntjac just after 12.35pm today, Friday, February 4 in Conyers Way, Great Barton.

A Suffolk Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "Four crews have been called to an adult sized deer stuck upside down in a fence."

They added that one of the four appliances called to the scene is the service's Unimog, which specialises in animal and water rescues.

A spokesman for the fire service later revealed the deer had been released after it was cut free with bolt cutters.
