MENTOR-ON-THE-LAKE, Ohio – An Ohio woman says she feels like a “prisoner” because a deer has been attacking her near her home.
Cindy Frost says she’s called police about the doe and asked for assistance in walking her dogs near her suburban Cleveland home.
Frost said the deer charged her last week while she was taking her dogs out. In an interview with Fox 8 news, she said she was forced to hide behind her car, zigzagging back and forth to evade the deer; she then had to fight the doe off with a dog leash and her fist.
Frost said the deer slipped on the black top allowing her to safely return inside. The deer then reportedly circled her home.

“I feel like I’m a prisoner,” the woman told Fox 8 news. “I can’t take my dogs out for a walk, I can’t even walk down to the end of my property and when I go to my car I’m looking all around.”
Frost says the doe’s fawn lives in her backyard.
State wildlife officials say her there’s not much they can do, and that such encounters are likely quite common.
