Move over burglars – deer are the new threat to homeowners in one New Jersey town.

A buck crashed through a window of a home in Point Pleasant on Monday, sending glass flying and startling the homeowner.

"I was just sitting here and I heard this loud noise and then all of the sudden my living room was just filled with glass," homeowner Lou Manzo told WABC-TV. "And then I saw the deer just standing there."

The incident unfolded at about 5:30 p.m. on Deerpath Road when the buck crashed into the front window, according to authorities. The animal then ran back out the way it came in and took off into the woods.

Fortunately, Manzo wasn't hurt in the incident, but he said his living room is a mess. Shards of glass were scattered everywhere and his furniture was damaged. He also has a big repair bill to deal with.

This isn't the first time that a deer has caused problems in Point Pleasant. In December, another buck smashed through a car windshield while being pursued by police officers.
