Horses loose in London latest: Blood on road and smashed vehicles after horses tear through city - BBC News Horses loose in London latest: Blood on road and smashed vehicles after horses tear through city - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
Central London has now quietened down following this morning's scenes. Here's what we know so far: We've had a new statement from the London Ambulance Service, which gives a bit more detail about the kind of resources that were dispatched this morning while the horses ran loose.
Four people have been taken to hospital after five runaway horses raced through central London To recap, we already knew the ambulance service treated four patients at three locations, and those patients were taken to hospital. That still stands.
Noise from a building site in Belgravia startled the horses and caused them to bolt, unseating the riders Here's the latest statement in full:
The horses are "working horses" and belong to the Household Cavalry - they were preparing to be inspected ahead of reheasals for the King's birthday parade, which is due to take place in June "We responded to several calls regarding an incident with horses on the loose in central London this morning (24 April).
The horses collided with traffic in several locations and some ran as far as Limehouse in east London “We sent multiple resources to the three scenes including ambulance crews, paramedics in response cars, and an incident response officer.
All five horses now have been recovered, but we are still waiting for more information on their condition and the condition of the four injured people "We treated four patients in total and took them all to hospital and have now been stood down.”
We'll keep bringing you updates.
