Deer smashes window at New York restaurant, causes $3G in damages

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. – Police are blaming a 4-legged suspect of causing about $3,000 worth of damage at a Long Island restaurant.

They say a surveillance camera caught a deer crashing through the front window of the Harbor Crab restaurant in Patchogue early Thursday morning.

Manager Kathleen Donish told WCBS-TV that benches were torn up and there was some blood on the windows.

A cleaning crew found the deer when they arrived in the morning.

The deer was not hurt and was set free after being captured.
