This is the moment a small deer charges into a phone shop, leaping over a counter and sending the startled owner scrambling to safety after mistaking it for a rabid dog.
The incident happened inside a street-side mobile phone store in Liangshan, in Sichuan province, China, on 1st February.
CCTV footage shows the deer bursting through the entrance as the owner, identified as Mr Lan, was sitting behind the counter on a chair and using his phone.
The video shows the deer jumping over the counter and landing on Mr Lan, leaving him shocked as he springs up and runs across the shop.

Startled by the deer’s yellow-brown colouring and dog-like size, Mr Lan believed he was under threat and scrambled onto a display counter to escape, repeatedly looking back as the deer calmly wandered around the store.
He later used a rope to secure the deer to prevent damage to the shop, before forest police arrived and safely took the animal away.
