Deer causes a ruckus in salon scuffle

QUAKERTOWN, Pa., May 21 (UPI) -- A Pennsylvania man says it was his only option to body check a deer when it busted through the door of a salon where his son was getting a haircut.

In an unexpected twist to a calm afternoon at Holiday Hair in Quakertown, Pa., a whitetail buck charged through a glass door and ran amok, the (Allentown, Pa.) Morning Call reported Wednesday.

''He was charging right at my son, so I decked him. The only thing I could do, I grabbed him by the neck and slammed him to the ground,'' Randy Goepfert, 36, said Tuesday.

It is reported Goepfert managed to contain the deer in a closed off room until authorities arrived and tranquilized it.

Authorities said they euthanized the animal because of injuries it sustained.
