A deer ran amok through the centre of this northern Italian city Monday, butting one pedestrian in the chest and knocking another over.

Rescue services cornered the animal in an underground car park.

The two people who crossed the deer's path received only cuts and bruises, doctors said.

The deer is thought to have ended up in the city after fleeing down the mountainside from a heavy storm.
