UPDATE:

WASHINGTON-- Passengers riding the Metro don't usually have to worry about seeing a deer on the train.

But that wasn't the case Sunday morning.

Metro trains have been delayed on the Red Line because a deer managed to get on the underground portion of track between the Forest Glen and Glenmont stations.

Metro officials tried for four hours to remove the deer.

Train service stopped Sunday morning.

A Metro spokeswoman told WTOP Radio that the deer frightened passengers by coming onto the platforms several times.

In order to resume service, Metro officials had to kill the animal.
