Five spooked horses of the British Royal Cavalry ran around central London, causing traffic chaos. One of the animals crashed into a car, injuring a soldier in its saddle, writes the website of the Daily Mail. According to The Daily Telegraph, a total of five people were injured in various parts of the city. A pair of horses, one of which was visibly bleeding, was captured on video posted online.
The horses spooked during a morning exercise near the royal Buckingham Palace. According to witnesses, one of them knocked down a rider near the Clermont Hotel in the Victoria district, who screamed in pain and was treated by paramedics on the spot.
The animals then galloped through the central streets. One horse apparently crashed into a double-decker bus, breaking its front window. Another collided with a taxi. According to the media, two of the horses were captured by London police in the eastern part of the city near the Limehouse district, a few kilometers from where they fled.
