The stag had to be put down
Wollaton Park closed to the public after a walker was injured by a deer. The 500 acre park was shut for two hours during Sunday morning as a result of the incident near the golf course in Lime Tree Avenue.
“Wollaton Park was closed temporarily this morning following an incident between a member of the public and a deer," said a Nottingham City Council spokesman. "The visitor was taken to hospital as a precaution and we understand that, thankfully, their injuries are not serious."A vet was called to put down the deer shortly afterwards before the park reopened to the public.
The professional added: "It's the rutting season, all the members know to stay clear and I think the gentleman knows. I was quite surprised as they normally tend to be aggressive but don't attack anybody."
