The THP's Fall Branch station tweeted that a group of tree trimmers working near Devault Bridge Road in Sullivan County flagged down Trooper Ryan Curd to report a small deer with its back leg stuck in a fence.
The trimmers led Curd to the deer, where he was able to cut through the fence and free the young animal.
Curd took the deer to a local wildlife rehabilitation clinic, where staff said it is expected to make a full recovery.
