It's was not a cat up a a tree but the rather more unusual deer in distress which required help from one set of West Yorkshire firefighters.

A crew from Keighley managed to free a frustrated fawn after it became wedged in metal railings in Hainworth Lane.

Firefighters used a battery-operated tool to widen the bars and release the deer, which appeared uninjured despite its ordeal on Wednesday morning.

A fire service spokesperson said it was alerted by a member of the public.
