Tricky rescue for deer

Polish firefighters dodged treacherous sheets of ice in a risky after-dark rescue of a terrified roe deer stranded on a floe in the Baltic Sea.

The rescue team faced serious hazards navigating among the sharp ice sheets but managed to save the drifting animal at the "last moment" after dark, Waldemar Bogatko told TVN24.

TV footage showed the team of four steering through the plates by boat and using flashlights to find the deer, wrap it in a blanket and carry it back to shore.
