Police try to capture deer running through Leichhardt

Police say they have “no idea” where two deer spotted running through Sydney’s inner west on Tuesday have come from.

Police were called about 6.30am on Tuesday after reports of deer running through Balmain, Leichhardt and Annandale.

The RSPCA is on the way to a property at Annadale where one deer is believed to have been cornered in the backyard.

A second deer is still on the run.

“Oh dear!” one local wrote on Facebook.

“There are two deer running around Leichhardt.”

“Walking the dog this morning, I saw them running down Mackenzie Street.

“Thought I was imagining it but ran into another dog walker who saw them too. I’ve advised the police.”

One Leichhardt resident said she noticed her cats were “freaking out” and when she went to see what was happening outside she found one of the deer stuck in her unit complex.

“Managed to coax it out the gate as it was really distressed, kept running into the walls and fence,” she wrote.
