Blood-soaked chaos erupted in London as five military horses from the Household Cavalry bolted through the city streets after getting spooked during exercise. The galloping horses, some covered in blood, caused panic and injuries as they evaded capture in a high-speed rampage. At least four people were injured, and images captured the scene of terrified horses running amok in Central London, including near Buckingham Palace. The runaway horses, usually well-trained, threw their riders and charged through the city, causing injuries to both people and horses and colliding with vehicles. The incident led to a rush-hour standstill in London, with emergency services rushing to contain the chaotic situation.

Efforts to capture the blood-drenched horses involved police containment, highlighting the mystery behind what caused the well-trained horses to behave in such an uncharacteristic manner. Despite the dramatic chase, authorities eventually managed to capture the horses. The incident raised questions about why highly trained horses ran wild in the city, surprising bystanders and alarming onlookers who witnessed the unusual spectacle of horses on the loose and covered in blood. Videos and images of the disturbing scene circulated widely, capturing the mayhem that unfolded on the streets of London in what was described as a rare and shocking event.
