The Police said the animal appeared frantic as it tried to escape on its own. Items were overturned, glasses were shattered, and papers were tossed across the floor. Blood spatters were visible on the walls. Officials lassoed a rope around the antlers of the buck, keeping themselves and it safe and then guided it back outside before setting it loose in the wild. There were no reports of injury to any officers.

The Suffolk County joked on its Facebook page, “We think the buck was looking for bucks." One user commented, “Surprised they didn't just shoot it. ICE would have.”
