WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A pair of deer interrupted the lunchtime rush Friday at a McDonald's restaurant in Washington when they smashed through a plate glass window and pranced around the store, a fire official said.

Four women suffered minor injuries -- including abrasions to the head -- as they tried to get out of the animals' way, fire department spokesman Alan Etter told CNN.

The women were taken to a hospital. One of them complained of chest pains.

Etter said the deer jumped through a 4- by 6-foot window about 11 a.m. and walked through the dining area and the kitchen.

One of the deer jumped back through the window and escaped. Etter said he saw the animal running nearby about an hour later.

The second deer suffered severe cuts, so animal control workers tranquilized it and took it away to try to treat its wounds, Etter said.

He said he did not know how seriously the deer was hurt.

Etter said the injured deer appeared to be an adult. He said he did not know anything about the other deer.

He said he did not know what caused the deer to jump through the window.

they just wanted a big mac & some fries. of course, they couldn't go through the drive through, since walk up customers aren't served at the window. And they couldn't operate the doors......no opposable thumbs, you know.

raven, yes, i agree it is sad (even though I cracked a joke, it's what I always do and I know it isn't always right).....we have lots of suburban deer in my area too. i mean.....deer tracks at the metro stops!

........It really used to irritate me to see articles in the paper about "nuisance wildlife". I always wondered if it was referring to the people...or to the animals.

My sentiments, exactly!! Nicely put! We are the nuisance....more pavement, more bricks, more room...MORE MORE MORE! No MORE room for wildlife

That reminds me.. when I was coming HOME from highschool a dear ran right smack into my side of the car!!! The car was totalled, noone was hurt (thank god) and the deer took off running thru the woods.. I'm sure he had to be hurt, but we didn't find him..

Lilpetie: Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehe Big and Tasty for a Buck..... hehehehehehe that is too funny, and I am so jealous that I didn't think of that first.....classic!
