Deer runs wild in DC Metro Station
Raw video: Wild animal shocks commuters after it wanders into the Crystal City Metro Station in Arlington, Virginia and races up and down the platform.
As throngs of sports fans headed downtown on the Metro to watch the Washington Capital's championship parade on Tuesday they were joined by a fellow four-legged commuter.
A deer ended up wandering into the Crystal City Station in Arlington, Va., near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport around 8:30 a.m., the transit agency posted on Twitter.
"Seems like *everyone* wants to get aboard the @Capitals train this morning! (Crystal City Station, 8:30 a.m. today -- this little guy somehow wandered into the tunnel & ended up at the station. Safely exited through the tunnel back toward DCA.) #OHDEER #ALLCAPS #WMATA #StanleyCup," the agency said.

At one point, the deer jumped onto the tracks as a train was pulling into the station. Metro officials said the deer eventually safely exited the station.
