Firefighters have been called to free a red deer that is trapped in a tree near Leavenheath.

Crews were called to the trapped animal in a field off Cawley Road just before 11.15am this morning.

It is understood that the animal has been trapped in the tree since last night and is currently quite distressed.

A spokesman for Suffolk Fire and Rescue said the RSCPA has been made aware and crews are waiting for a vet to arrive to check the animal over.

Appliances from Princes Street, Nayland, Sudbury and Long Melford are currently at the scene.
