WHITEHOUSE, Texas (CNN/KETK) - Two men in Texas had a rough encounter when a wild buck came after them.

They called the police and the game warden for help after the buck attacked them.

It took five men to restrain the animal, and they had to use a stun gun on the deer.

"He came up and started poking me in my ribs so I grabbed him by the horns and pushed him back and hopped in the back of my truck. He climbed up here and put his front paws on my seat and got my pack of cigarettes and started chewing them. I think the deer tried to switch places, I think he was trying to hunt us!" said Joseph Rose.

The police responding to this incident also suffered some minor injuries. One officer had a broken wrist.
