Certain family in Melbourne‘s inner northeast had an unexpected and rattling visit from a wild deer during their school holidays.Alexander Hill, from Alphington in Melbourne’s northeast, received multiple missed calls from concerned neighbors as well as a text message stating that a stag barged into the house as blood is seen everywhere.
Upon further investigation, Hill found out that a deer had broken into his townhouse’s ground floor.He quickly phoned the police and Parks Victoria to deal with the bizarre situation he had found himself in.The deer had spotted its reflection which led to all hell breaking loose.
“He’s seen his reflection in the window next to our door and then has taken that as another stag in his territory and gone at the window,”Hill said.“He‘s gone through the window, the curtain has fallen back behind him so he’s suddenly stuck in a white box.”Mr. Hill had to wait for two hours with his children on the floor above for a ranger with a tranquilizing dart to arrive at their home. 
After opening the front door, the deer bolted into a nearby park, making tranquilizers unnecessary.“In a few seconds, he was off and out the front door,” he said.“He‘s jumped probably 20 meters over this fence down by the river and he disappeared.”
Rangers informed Hill that the incident was uncommon, as they typically dealt with kangaroos and only saw a deer once every 50 calls.
