Two families eating at a local Tennessee diner were in for a not-so-sweet treat on Monday night.

Six people were having dinner at a table at The Grind restaurant in Martin, Tennessee, when a deer crashed through the window from the parking lot. The video, obtained by Fox Weather, shows the glass shatter, prompting the family inside to jump out of their seats and scurry away while a man went after the deer.

The Tennessean later reported that as the animal flew over a table, its hoof hit 13-year-old Ruby Hayes’ shoulder. She was taken to a nearby hospital and reportedly received 11 stitches for the wound.

Owens also said Hayes, although shaken up, is home and happy.
