Restaurant patrons scatter as deer comes through window

They must have shouted “Oh dear!”

Patrons at a Wisconsin restaurant scattered after a deer came charging through the eatery’s window on Tuesday.

The harrowing incident happened at Noodles & Company in Beloit, about an hour south of Madison, Wis., during a busy lunch service.

Surveillance footage that captured the incident shows the creature running through the middle aisle of the eatery, causing frightened diners to run.

After they did, the brazen animal walked about the dining area and even entered the restaurant’s kitchen before leaving through the back door, which was opened by an employee there.
