This bank had one buck too many.
Suffolk County cops responding to a burglar alarm at a local bank got more than they could handle — a fully grown male deer trapped inside and trashing the place, with the whole thing caught on video.
“The deer was not charged in this case, he lives to break it to another bank on another day,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Kevin Catalina said Thursday. “I think it just goes to show, like, you know, what cops and cats are on a daily basis — you never know what your day is going to bring you.”
The mayhem unfolded Sunday, when police responded to a possible burglary at a Webster Bank branch in the Long Island hamlet of Ridge and found a window smashed and an intruder inside — a frightened buck thrashing around to try to break free, footage posted by cops on Instagram shows.
Cops are seen in the clip trying to chase down the buck, which leaps and bounces away.
“As the deer frantically attempted to escape on its own — leaving quite a mess in the process — officers were able to safely lasso the animal and guide him to freedom,” police said in the post.
Five Suffolk cops were involved in the hunt to “get this deer headed in the right direction.”
“Ultimately, their job is to help people and help society, and, I think they did that,” Catalina said.
Last month, another deer caused quite a stir in a quiet Long Island community during a three-day rampage that even saw the animal knock on one neighbor’s door.
The white-tailed deer rampaged through Lake Ronkonkoma, damaging property and dodging police who tried to reel in the animal — until it was tragically found dead.
“I had to go to church after all this,” neighborhood resident Patricia Mudaro told The Post.
