Footage posted by social media users showed a saddled white horse seemingly covered in blood running through the street alongside another black one.
The Telegraph newspaper said the horses belonged to the Household Cavalry, part of the British army, and that they had run loose while exercising at Horse Guards Parade, a ceremonial parade ground in central London. "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," London's Metropolitan Police said on X.
