\"Andrew<\/p>\n

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”.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, Staffordshire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Video footage captures Andrew declaring “I’ll f***ing smash you” as the stag started displaying signs of aggression.<\/p>\n

He then cries out “Ooh f**ing hell” as the creature charges and he falls backwards through his own front door.<\/p>\n

Off-camera Andrew can subsequently be heard stating: “My f***ing flip-flop. Gina…I’ve just fallen over.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t too badly hurt – I just crashed into the radiator as I fell through the door.<\/p>\n

\"Andrew<\/p>\n

“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’.<\/p>\n

“We live by Cannock Chase<\/a> so we have a lot of deer and this one, who we have named ‘Big Trevor’ or ‘Big Trev’ comes up to my home.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

\"Andrew<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“But usually, he’ll even hear my electric car coming and follow me up the road to my house.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

His daughter Chantelle Alabi quipped: “There’s never a dull moment with my dad.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrew Price, 58, crashed through his front door after the stag he’d been hand-feeding took exception to his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900087,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3847],"tags":[105137,70,604,16,15,1717],"class_list":["post-900086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-cannock-chase","tag-science","tag-staffordshire","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-wildlife"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116418616367741309","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900086"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900086\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
