A pet deer has gored a man to death and seriously injured his wife in a rare attack in Australia, police say.

The man, 47, had gone to feed the stag on his property in Victoria when the attack happened on Wednesday.

The woman suffered life-threatening injuries after going to her husband’s aid, local media said. She was flown to hospital for treatment.

A recent study into all deaths caused by animals in Australia between 2000 and 2013 found none had involved deer.
