Pennsylvania Man Wrestles Deer In Hair Salon

QUAKERTOWN, Pa. (CBS) ― A man said he had no choice but to fight after a deer crashed into a Quakertown, Pennsylvania, hair salon Tuesday.

Police said a white-tailed buck with 4-6 inch antlers ran into Holiday Hair in the Quakertown Plaza and began flailing and kicking into the air, CBS station KYW-TV in Philadelphia reports.

Randy Goepfert, who was in the salon with his 11-year-old son, said he had to put the animal in a headlock in order to keep it away from his son and others inside the business.

The deer broke free and ran break room where it was held until a game warden arrived.

Officials said the deer suffered a broken jaw and cuts to its neck and had to be euthanized.

Goepfert suffered a back injury after being kicked by the deer.
