Police officers in Ohio took time from fighting crime to assist a helpless deer trapped in a fence.
A Facebook video posted to the Parma Heights Police Department's account on Saturday shows three officers gathering around a deer with a leg stuck between the fence's metal bars.
The officers gently lift the animal from the ground in an attempt to set it free.

A handful of bystanders can be heard clapping.
