The share has been posted on the Facebook page of North Olmsted Police Department. The post details that while usually police advises residents in North Olmsted, Ohio, to stay away from baby deer if they find them, this time there was one that needed help.

“Yesterday, the owner of Sittoo's Restaurant in North Olmsted (great food by the way) called to report that he had a fawn stuck in a sewer grate behind the business that wasn't able to free itself,” says the post.
