One fox in New Hope got itself into a knotty situation over the weekend that required assistance from the New Hope Eagle Volunteer Fire Company in Bucks County.

The poor thing was discovered Saturday morning in a soccer net at a local field and later cut free with help from the Solebury Township Police Department.

Firefighters posted a video of the rescue on Facebook, where it's since been making rounds.
