This is the moment a father suffered a painful tumble after being charged by an irate deer outside his house – seconds after warning it: “I’ll f***ing smash ya”.
Andrew Price, 58, went crashing through his front door while fleeing the stag as he attempted to provide it with some water outside his property in Cannock, Staffordshire.
The grandfather-of-one explained the deer – nicknamed ‘Big Trev’ – had been visiting his street for the past couple of years and he had even managed to handfeed him occasionally.

However, on Monday afternoon (13/4) the animal objected to Andrew’s presence and pursued him back into his own house with a painful tumble.
Video footage captures Andrew declaring “I’ll f***ing smash you” as the stag started displaying signs of aggression.
He then cries out “Ooh f**ing hell” as the creature charges and he falls backwards through his own front door.
Off-camera Andrew can subsequently be heard stating: “My f***ing flip-flop. Gina…I’ve just fallen over.”
Father-of-two Andrew, a retired auto-electrician, commented: “I was just trying to leave some water out for him and this is how he repaid me.
“I wasn’t too badly hurt – I just crashed into the radiator as I fell through the door.
“My croc fell off as I tried to get away so that’s what caused me to fall – I think you can hear me say ‘I’ve lost me flip-flop’.
“We live by Cannock Chase so we have a lot of deer and this one, who we have named ‘Big Trevor’ or ‘Big Trev’ comes up to my home.
“I’ve been able to hand feed him and I leave him some water out, which is what I was trying to do at the time.
“But obviously as I bent down, they see that as a sign of aggression as they headbutt – so I think he saw me as a threat.
“I tried to offer him out as I knew what he was about to do but the I was then one that ended up on the floor.
“But usually, he’ll even hear my electric car coming and follow me up the road to my house.
“It’s just on this occasion we had a little run-in. I don’t blame him too much, he was just acting on instinct.”
His daughter Chantelle Alabi quipped: “There’s never a dull moment with my dad.”
