Military horses caused chaos in central London after they got loose, resulting in four people being taken to hospital today (April 24).

The pandemonium ensued when two horses were spotted galloping along the road near Aldwych, with one appearing to be bloodstained.

A taxi driver, who was parked outside the Clermont Hotel on Buckingham Palace Road, had his Mercedes people carrier's windows shattered by a startled horse.

Additionally, a double-decker tour bus parked nearby suffered a smashed windscreen after being hit by one of the horses. An Army spokesperson commented: "A number of military working horses became loose during routine exercise this morning." They added: "All of the horses have now been recovered and returned to camp.
