The man is seen holding the male deer along with a lifebuoy as he swims to the steps of a pier. Authorities are then seen trying to help the man get the deer up the steps.
‘Put her feet on the stairs and let her go if she has the energy left,’ one officer is heard telling the resident.
As the man tries to put the deer on the steps, he realizes that there were steps missing.
An officer then lifts the deer up, carries him to the grass and places him down gently.
‘He’s going to need a little rest,’ the hero resident is heard saying as the deer struggles to stand.
‘We’re going to give you some space buddy,’ an officer says while the deer lies on the grass.
