In what is likely the first incident of its kind in the area, a deer was seen running around the Flatbush community on Tuesday.
Flatbush Shomrim was the first to receive multiple calls from residents in the area of Ocean Parkway and Avenue S reporting a deer jumping from property to property.
The NYPD was called, and after chasing it around for more than an hour, Emergency Services Officers managed to shoot it with a tranquillizer.
It was unknown where the deer came from, as there are no deer whatsoever in this residential community.

The deer must have crossed the bridge from Staten Island without bothering to pay the toll.
No one has to pay a toll when they cross the bridge from Staten Island :). But if he wants to go back, that’s a different story!
Calling police for a deer running around?? We see that here in jersey all day
Do they also deal with reports of squirrels? What about cats and dogs?
Wouldn’t calling a shochet make more sense than a shomer?
And here I thought it’s just us Chassidim who are primitive. Calling Shomrim for a deer? Kidding?
