Five blood-soaked Household Cavalry horses have run loose in central London after throwing their military riders during an exercise.




At least one soldier was injured after a spooked horse smashed into cars outside the Clermont Hotel on Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria.

One of the horses has also seemingly ran into a double decker bus, smashing the windscreen.

A silver Mercedes-Benz people carrier was also reportedly hit, with damage to its side and two rear windows broken.

Buckingham Palace Road was closed after the shocking incident and a cordon was put in place.

A blue tarpaulin tent has been put up around the injured soldier.

The Met Police said: 'We are aware of a number of horses that are currently loose in central London and are working with colleagues, including the Army, to locate them.'

Five Injured as Military horses caused mayhem in central London after they were spooked by builders moving rubble. A trooper who was thrown from his horse can be seen lying still on the floor









Members of the public were seen comforting one of the horses after it ran loose



A group of seven horses and six soldiers from the Household Cavalry were on an extended exercise in Belgravia on Wednesday when chaos erupted.

A horse was filmed rearing and throwing off a trooper on the same day a group of panicked horses ran wild through Central London.

The man filming is heard saying moments before the incident: 'The horses are having a bit of a dance show this morning, they're not settling down as quick as they usually do.'

Seconds later, the footage shows commotion among the crowd as a black horse appears unsettled and moves in a frantic manner.

Several of the horses are seen tugging against their harnesses, disturbed by the distressed animal, as the first horse bucks and throws the rider off.

A woman is heard in the background urging the members of the public to remain still, as a soldier is seen running frantically into the area to try and capture the riderless horse.

As the animals get back into formation, they still seem distressed and toss their heads.

A medic raced to treat the rider, surrounded by other military personnel and police officers as he lay on the floor.

In a heartwarming show of support, the gathered crowd applauds as the wounded rider manages to get to his feet.








Five horses threw off their riders and ran amok after being spooked by building works. The horses rampaged for six miles before they were finally caught in Limehouse, east London. The injured horses saw a vet and the animals are now back with the Army.




A British Army spokesperson confirmed this afternoon that the animals were 'spooked by construction works' when building materials were 'dropped from a height'.
