Visitors at the park are often warned to stay away from the deer as they are territorial and can attack at any moment. Local residents also noted that the park should be closed during the mating season so the deers could be left alone. The season is also called a “rut” since male deers compete with each other by roaring at each other along with locking horns as a form of combat.
The woman was also criticized for her lack of fall attire since the weather in London is cloudy and cold.
