A deer seen wandering a New Jersey town with its head stuck in a plastic pumpkin has been rescued, police said.

The borough of Upper Saddle River posted on Facebook late Tuesday morning that a deer seen wandering around with part of its head, including it’s mouth, stuck inside a plastic pumpkin, had been found and the pumpkin has been removed.

The pumpkin is the kind typically used for trick-or-treating at Halloween.



A short time before, Upper Saddle River published a post asking for tips after people reported seeing the deer.

The borough thanked animal control and the New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife.
