Boston runs wild: Deer leaps into Roxbury backyard

Boston Police report "a large deer" found its way to Juniper Street in Roxbury yesterday afternoon:

On arrival, officers observed a large deer roaming around the backyard of 38 Juniper Street. According to witnesses, the deer leapt a seven-foot fence before ending up in the backyard of 38 Juniper Street. In addition to Boston Police officers, Animal Control also responded to the scene. Since the deer appeared to be in good health and was in no immediate danger, the deer was left untouched and allowed to exit the area on its own.

Of course, that begs the question of how it got there in the first place. Maybe it jumped the fare gate at Forest Hills and got off the Orange Line at Roxbury Crossing?
