Bloody Horse On The Loose In London, Wild Ride of Chaos & Injuries

Escaped military horses wreaked havoc through the London streets during morning rush hour this week … causing injuries and leaving a bloody trail of destruction in their wake.

The pics are quite the wild sight … 5 horses from the Life Guards, part of the prestigious Household Cavalry, tore through the streets Wednesday morning … and one white horse even seemed to be drenched in blood — whether its own or someone else’s is unclear.

The British army confirmed in a statement their frenzied run occurred after the horses were spooked during an extended exercise.

Apparently, some concrete fell off a conveyor belt being used in nearby construction work and hit the ground, causing the chain reaction of chaos.

5 out of the 7 horses bolted … and 4 of the soldiers were unseated from the horses, resulting in 3 of them being injured during the chaotic escape. They’re currently being evaluated in the hospital, but their injuries aren’t life-threatening.

As for the horses, they covered about 6 miles across London in a staggering 2 hours … with reports emerging of them crashing into vehicles and knocking someone onto the street.

Just before 10 AM UK local time, City of London police tweeted officers had contained 2 of the horses. Half an hour later, Westminster police confirmed they had found the rest.
