Residents of a busy city street in Yorkshire got an early morning surprise from visitors this week.

Officers from South Yorkshire Police's Sheffield City Centre Neighbourhood Policing Team posted a video of the deer making a dash across the road.

They were then seen to head back towards Moss Valley.

In lockdown, a Muntjac deer was seen trotting around a Sheffield city centre car park, and a badger was spotted on the deserted concourse of Sheffield railway station.
