Chaos as military horses throw riders off before bolting through central London

The moment three runaway military horses bolted through central London after losing their riders has been caught on camera.Police and the military said they worked together to "swiftly and safely" recover the animals after they fled this morning.But not before footage captured one horse crashing into a vehicle before running down the middle of a busy London road.

Just before, six horses from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment had been conducting a routine exercise under the control of five soldiers.

The lead horse, which was being led and not ridden, was spooked by a bus and bolted, sending two riders falling to the ground. Those riders' horses then also fled.

The animals ran from Seville Street to South Eaton Place in Belgravia, where one horse was safely recovered and brought back under control.Two others horses then continued on to Vauxhall Bridge via Belgrave Road before they were stopped as well.

The Ministry of Defence confirmed all horses were safely collected and returned to Hyde Park Barracks by 9.55am.One of the horses suffered "minor injuries" and all of the soldiers escaped unscathed.
