Oh deer.

Deer Runs Through D.C. Subway Station
Dec 16, 09:43 PM EST

This wasn't the typical subway fare jumper. A videotape released Monday by Metrorail, Washington's mass transit system, shows a deer running through a train station as startled passengers watch.

"We've named him Rudolph the Blue Line Reindeer," Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said.

The video shows the deer walking around the mezzanine at the Addison Road-Seat Pleasant station in Maryland, running down an escalator, then darting down the platform past a waiting train. The animal then jumped onto the tracks, avoiding the electrified third rail, and headed off into the woods surrounding the aboveground station, Farbstein said.

Deer often wander onto Metro's aboveground tracks, and most avoid danger, Farbstein said, but a deer inside a station is rare.

Metro spokesman Steven Taubenkibel said officials were unsure of the exact date of the incident. Security cameras caught the romp, and police came across it during a routine review of video footage.

But did the deer tip the homeless guy in the wheelchair playing Stairway to Heaven on the accordian. I mean the deer listened for like ten minutes.
