An elk assaulted a police officer as he attempted to rescue him

Description:

On September 1, something out of the ordinary happened in Pierce County. A male elk stuck in a tree swing was rescued by deputies. Contrary to expectations, this type of intervention usually results in the animal's terrible death (euthanasia), however this time was different. The deputies decided to release the elk on their own since other agencies were quickly disappearing. The juvenile animal was saved, despite the fact that the procedure was not without risk—at one point, the anxious elk even ran into a deputy.
