SEAT PLEASANT, Md. -- Startled passengers looked on in amazement one morning this month as a deer jumped the gates at the Addison Road-Seat Pleasant subway station.
Security cameras caught the whole thing, and Metro officials released the tapes on Monday after reviewing them.
The deer walked around the mezzanine, ran down the escalator, then darted down the platform past a waiting train. He then jumped onto the tracks, avoiding the third rail, and headed off into the woods.
Metro officials say deer often wander onto their rights of way, and most make it out safely. But a deer inside the station is rare.
The video is worth a laugh or two.
