There's a deer trapped in an escalator': muntjac rescued from Norwich M&S

"In Norfolk, deers often get themselves in trouble, said the sanctuary's founder, Wendy Valentine. They get stuck between walls and sheds, and in gates. It's quite common for deer to get trapped But trapped in an escalator' was a first. The female muntjac deer was found wedged upside down between two glass panels next to the handrail of the ground-floor escalator of the shop, which paradoxically is located on Rampant Horse Street."

"Somehow it got in between there [the glass panels] and got itself upside down with its foot caught in a bit of metal. Hillside Animal Sanctuary was called to Marks & Spencer in Norwich after staff found a muntjac deer stuck within the glass barrier of an escalator. After being covered by an M&S blanket to try to calm her down, the deer was rescued by sanctuary worker Ian Haywood, who managed to reach into the space between the glass panels and free her."

"Ian's used to handling wild deer we're called [to rescue them] at least once every day, sometimes two or three times, Valentine said. He said he held on to it tightly he didn't want it racing around Marks & Spencer. The deer has been nicknamed lucky' Lucy by staff at Hillside because it sustained only a superficial cut on its foot. It was fine, more petrified than anything, said Valentine. It's lucky it didn't injure itself more than it did."

"Lucy is resting and stable, and has spent the last few days feasting on branches, hogweed, grass and other delicacies at the sanctuary, which also cares for 100 other rescued deer. She's now settled and I'm feeding her several times a day. She particularly likes dandelions, hawthorn leaves and bramble leaves, Valentine said, adding she has never seen this food sold at an M&S supermar"

A female muntjac deer became trapped upside down between two glass panels beside the handrail of a ground-floor escalator at a Marks & Spencer store in Norwich. Staff called Hillside Animal Sanctuary after finding the deer with a foot caught in metal. Sanctuary worker Ian Haywood reached into the space between the panels and freed the deer while it was covered with an M&S blanket to help calm it. The deer, nicknamed “Lucky Lucy,” sustained only a superficial cut and was more petrified than injured. She rested and then fed on branches, hogweed, grass, dandelions, hawthorn leaves, and bramble leaves at the sanctuary, which cares for about 100 rescued deer.
