Horses loose in London latest: All runaway cavalry horses caught after several people hurt - BBC News Horses loose in London latest: Runaway horses spooked by noise, Army says - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
We're hearing from some of the Londoners who saw the loose horses this morning. Grace Whitaker, 23, had just got off a bus on her way to work when she saw several emergency services vehicles near Victoria Station.
Alex Barnes, 24, did a double-take as one of the runaway horses galloped past him as he exited Victoria Station. “I saw about five fire engines, six ambulances," she says.
“I thought, ‘I swear that was a horse’. But it was pretty early and I was still half asleep so I wasn’t sure if it was. “I saw one of the horses that was involved, saw some members of the army. It was quite the scene with lots of emergency services around putting up cordons.
“So I went to check it out and as I turned the corner there was a massive, loud crash and the horse had gone head on with a parked bus. “One of the black horses was there. I thought maybe it was a police horse that had come to attend to the scene but obviously I now know it was one of the horses that had escaped.
“The horse was standing in the middle of the road quite shocked. It was pretty horrible to be honest and the horse was bleeding quite a lot but a few people were trying to tend to it and get it out of the road. “There was a blue tent around what I assume was an injured person.
“It’s not what you expect to see when you are going to work in the morning, definitely not.” “I saw what looked like a taxi van that had damage to it, a smashed window. I think everyone’s immediate impression was that somebody had been hit by a car. We were quite surprised when we realised it was to do with horses.”
