A stag is put down after it approaches a picnic group and injures an elderly man in a London park. Reports say the man suffers chest injuries and receives medical attention following the incident.
The Royal Parks spokesperson says the animal is a stag and that the deer behaves unusually by approaching people while seeking food. The Independent and Yahoo UK both describe the same weekend incident and attribute the information to Royal Parks. Both outlets focus on the injury and the decision to euthanise the animal, without providing additional details about the man’s condition or the circumstances of the deer’s movement beyond its food-seeking behaviour.
