Deer attacks on humans aren't common but they have been known to happen during rutting season in the fall.
A Kelowna woman needed medical treatment after being attacked by a deer in front of her home on Highpointe Drive.
"The deer came at her from behind and it just knocked her down, on her knee and then her head hit the pavement and she hit her chin. She's got a big bruise on her chin and her knees are all swollen, we had to go to emergency and get x-rays," says Leguilloux. "He actually got gored by the antlers and she ran out to help him. He said he actually got punctured in his testicle.""It doesn't look normal. It looks like it's been wounded and it's pretty scraggly on the back end. One of its legs looks like it has like an open wound on it," Leguilloux says.
Deer attacks on humans aren't common but they have been known to happen during rutting season in the fall, when deer feel threatened are backed into a corner, or when they are protecting their young.
