Four people have been taken to hospital after being injured by runaway military horses as they tore through central London pursued by police, smashing into cars, taxis and a tourist bus.

Authorities confirmed that a number of animals were on the loose, while eyewitnesses reported seeing smashed-up vehicles and one of the horses covered in blood.

Here's what we know and don't know about the horses on the loose:

What we know

The ambulance service was called this morning at around 8.25am after a rider was thrown from a horse, with several of the animals later reported to be roaming the streets.

Several horses were spotted loose close to Buckingham Palace, with two of them being taken under control by police in Docklands following a dramatic pursuit.

Police have since confirmed all of the escaped animals have been located and the situation is now stable.

City of London Police said: "At around 8.40am, we were called about horses that had become loose and were travelling through the City. Our officers have contained two horses on the Highway near Limehouse.

"We're waiting for an Army horse box to collect the horses and transport them to veterinary care."

During the horses' journey, they were spotted smashing into cars, a taxi and a tourist bus - which was left with a smashed windscreen.

An employee for tour bus company, Big Bus, Mr Mahmood, said three horses got “out of control” from Buckingham Palace Road.

He said: “One of the horses bumped into a bus, then everything got out of control.

“I saw two horses without riders gallop away. One rider managed to calm his horse down. “An ambulance went to assist another rider who had been injured.”

…apologies, Arista…I did look but didn’t see it…it can be merged…

…some of the images are extremely upsetting/as some of the articles are quite graphic in their content as well…apparently Ben Shepherd stopped the live reports because of that….

[Ammi]

…do we know what the injuries are…human and horse…if any are serious…?…

That's the last thing you expect to see when you turn up for work in the morning

Good, all the Horses are back at the base.

It was Concrete Bits going down
a builders funnel that was loud and scared them
sadly the horses were riding next to that.


They must avoid that road
for now.

Any updates on the wellbeing of the people and the Horses?

3 Armymen in Hospital
recovering.

The 5 Horses
were being treated by the vet
back at the army base.

Unlucky all the horses
were right next to the Skip
so the loud noise of old concrete
smashing down - would make you jump!
