Blood on pavement and smashed vehicles after horses tear through London
Grace Whitaker, 23, told the BBC she had just got off a bus on her way to work when she saw several emergency services vehicles near Victoria Station.
“I saw about five fire engines, six ambulances," she said.
“I saw one of the horses that was involved, saw some members of the army. It was quite the scene with lots of emergency services around putting up cordons.
“One of the black horses was there. I thought maybe it was a police horse that had come to attend to the scene but obviously I now know it was one of the horses that had escaped.
“There was a blue tent around what I assume was an injured person.
“I saw what looked like a taxi van that had damage to it, a smashed window. I think everyone’s immediate impression was that somebody had been hit by a car. We were quite surprised when we realised it was to do with horses.”
