PORT JEFFERSON, Long Island (WABC) -- Animal rescuers helped saved a buck that got trapped in a batting cage Friday night on Long Island.

Workers from Strong Island Animal Rescue arrived at Sheep Pasture Road in Port Jefferson and found the buck struggling to free himself from the net.

The whale was seen spouting water and making its way through the river near Pier 84.

With some human help, the buck broke free and continued on its way.

Strong Island Animal Rescue reminds people to take down sporting equipment when it's not in use to help keep wild animals safe.

The two first responders were met on the sixth floor by a gunman who made off with their medical bags and radios.
