At least four people were injured and rushed to the hospital after a group of military horses, some of which were covered in blood, bolted through the streets of London in a wild frenzy.
A group of military horses ran amok through central London after getting loose during a “routine exercise,” officials saidThe riderless horses were seen galloping through London on Wednesday, April 24, and a couple of them were “covered in blood,” according to a witness. “At the time I was really confused but it felt like something chaotic was happening as there were police officers or potentially security guards sprinting down the middle of Buckingham Palace Road,” Megan told. “I assumed there had been some sort of accident or vehicle collision. There’s a lot of traffic on that road at that time.
“I saw a soldier falling down into the street after the horse ran into a car. One of my colleagues called the police,” Bashir Aden, 48, a construction worker, told. “The man hit the floor hard, he was screaming in pain. You could see blood all over the parked car.”While the horses were running amok, one of them reportedly ran into a double-decker bus and smashed the vehicle’s windscreen. Another galloping horse reportedly crashed into a black cab before eventually being captured.
During the morning exercise, one of the soldiers fell off the horse and rushed to the hospital with an injuryAlong with the individual thrown from the horse’s back during the exercise, three others were also picked up by paramedics from different locations and taken to the hospital with injuries. Two of them were found injured near Belgrave Square while the fourth person was picked up at the junction of Chancery Lane and Fleet Street.
