"While patrolling in Solvang, Deputy Green witnessed a deer running from a mountain lion," police said.

The officer used his patrol car's light to illuminate the scene, as the mountain lion pursued its potential prey on and off the road.

Eventually the two animals scurried out of view, but the officer said the deer managed to escape.

"That deer lived to see another morning, and the mountain lion remains hungry," police said.
