Local D.C. police and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rescued a stranded fawn on the icy Potomac River near the Key Bridge, according to a local news report.

Someone noticed the baby deer having difficultly walking on the ice around 8 a.m. and told the authorities.

According to WTOP, the Metropolitan Police Harbor Patrol and D.C. Fire & EMS’ Fire Boat crew responded to the report of the stranded baby deer on the water.

The Brandywine Valley SPCA, an animal control service, also responded.

The deer was rescued and returned to land.

“Just two weeks into providing Animal Control services for the District, we’re proud to celebrate this successful rescue,” said Brandywine CEO Adam Lamb said in a news release.
