He found himself trapped on the rails.
On January 12, a deer which was being chased by a venery crew from the Chantilly region left the forest to find refuge on the town's SNCF tracks.
The pack of dogs that stalked the deer could not have been controlled by the hunters until it entered town.
The canines would have refused to stop hunting despite orders from their masters.
The gendarmerie had to intervene to put the animal to sleep and evacuate it under satisfactory security conditions.
The incident which disrupted rail traffic for several hours in the region was condemned by the mayor of the city. Isabelle Wojtowiez (LR) promised to "make the decisions so that this spectacle never happens again" in the locality for which she is responsible.
