Watch: Two horses, one covered in blood, run loose through London
Four people were taken to the hospital after two military horses got loose and ran through central London, causing chaos on the streets.
Several military horses in London got loose while performing “routine exercises” on Wednesday morning, according to an army spokesperson. Two managed to escape and charge through the city. Videos of one black horse and one white, covered in blood, running through the city have emerged online. The horses ran wild through the streets, causing accidents that led to four people being sent to the hospital.
One serviceman was thrown from the back of the horse at Buckingham Palace, a taxi driver had the windows of his car smashed after a spooked horse collided with the vehicle near Clermont Hotel, and a horse crashed into a double-decker tour bus and smashed the windshield.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that all the horses have since been caught and taken to receive veterinary care.
