Staff working at a port helped firefighters rescue a deer after it became trapped in the water.

The deer was seen struggling in the River Nene at Nene Quay, Wisbech, at about 10:15 BST on Monday.

Members of Fenland District Council's marine services team at Wisbech Port and Yacht Harbour helped Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service crews get the "distressed" animal out of the water using specialist equipment provided by the firefighters.

The deer was unharmed and released in a safe area away from the water.
