Four people have been injured after several Household Cavalry horses bolted and ran loose through central London.
At least one soldier was hurt after a spooked horse smashed into cars outside the Clermont Hotel on Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria. Pictures also show an injured man lying on the floor on Fleet Street.
Five Household Cavalry horses, including one covered in blood, were also seen charging through other areas of London including Tower Bridge and the Strand.
The animals bolted and threw their riders, made up of the Lifeguards and Blues & Royals, while they were leaving Hyde Park Barracks on their daily morning exercise.
All the horses have now been recovered.
London Ambulance Service said four people had been injured at three different locations.
Its crews were called to incidents in Buckingham Palace Road, Belgrave Square and the junction of Chancery Lane and Fleet Street to separate reports of incidents with a horse.
A spokesman for the LAS said: “Our first paramedics were on the scene in under a minute.
“The incident is still ongoing and we are working with our emergency services partners.”
