More than 4 1/2 hours after a deer was first spotted outside Union Station in Toronto , police tranquilized and safely captured the frightened animal. Police cruisers blocked off a small green space at the corner of Chestnut and Edward Street where the deer was hiding in the shadow of a multi-story commercial building. After a zoo veterinarian fired the tranquilizer dart, the deer jumped up, startled by officers holding large nets, and leapt over police tape onto Chestnut St. there officers tasered the animal and pinned it with a net before safely lifting it into the back of an animal service vehicle.
The animal will be watched over by veterinarians and then likely given to the Toronto Zoo, Still no one knows where the deer came from. Some believe it made its way from Rouge Valley or Humber Valley. The question of How? no one really knows.
Its great to see how much respect was given towards the animal. The intersection of Edward and Chestnut streets was cordoned off . Chestnut was closed from Edward to Dundas and Edward St. was closed from Center Avenue to Elizabeth St. They took great precautions to ensure the safety of the animal and of the people who gathered to gawk at this out of place animal. I've heard of seeing deers in the suburbs, but downtown?
