A Patchogue restaurant owner made a wild discovery today.

Harbor Crab Company owner Frank Mills came into work today to find a deer on the floor with all four of his legs tied up with extension cords. He says two of his employees showed up to the restaurant at about 8:30 a.m. and were surprised to see damages and a deer running around the restaurant.

Surveillance video shows the deer bursting through the window at around 2:30 a.m. He made his way from the foyer to the dining room, and it appears he tried to get out but couldn't find a way. He ran around for almost six hours, tearing up benches and turning over tables until the employees captured him.

Emergency services and police helped to set the deer free.
