A western New York homeowner says she awoke to find an unwelcome visitor in her living room - a deer.

Wyoming County sheriff deputy Matthew Sage responded to the homeowner's call in Strykersville earlier this week.

He told The Buffalo News that the young buck had crashed through a window and was standing near a couch when he arrived at the rural property.

Before the police officer could get inside the house, the deer jumped out through another window and trotted off into the woods. Mr Sage said the animal appeared to be uninjured.
