Local authorities said Tuesday that the deer, estimated to be 4 or 5 years old, entered the shop, specialized in Tirolese outfits, while the assistant was away, and got trapped inside among the clothes. Authorities said it was necessary to cordon off Cortina’s shopping square to allow local veterinarians to catch the animal, anaesthetize it and then bring it back to the wild.
