"Very distressing for the deer. I hope the fine the owner receives makes them use a lead or up their training game."

Sergeant Pete Sturgess of the Met's Royal Parks Command Unit said: "If you do not know how your dog will react around the deer, or you know they will chase them, then please respect the wildlife by keeping them under control on a lead, or choose an outside space other than Richmond or Bushy Parks to walk off lead."
