Police search for large deer in Atlantic City

    A large deer is on the loose in Atlantic City after being spotted several times this week and most recently this morning.

    WPVI-TV reports police attempted to corner the deer and lead it into a prisoner transport van but it escaped around 6:00 a.m.

    The large deer was seen earlier this week near a local playground.

    Police tell WPVI-TV the animal is responsible for a minor fender bender at Brighton and Arctic Avenues.
