The British army has recovered several horses after they broke free from the prestigious Household Cavalry and bolted through London on Wednesday morning.
A number of people and horses are currently being treated for injuries incurred during the incident, though further details about their conditions are unavailable.
In a statement emailed to CNN, a spokesperson for the British Army said: "A number of military working horses became loose during routine exercise this morning. All of the horses have now been recovered and returned to camp.
"A number of personnel and horses have been injured and are receiving the appropriate medical attention."
The animals were spooked when some concrete fell off a conveyor belt being used in nearby construction work and hit the ground, the army added.
Earlier Wednesday, the City of London Police – the force that oversees London's financial district – reported the events on social media.
