    “I saw a white horse running, he was bleeding all over his chest,” Csilla, a coffee shop employee, said, reports the Telegraph.

    “A few moments later I saw another horse - a black one - running after him. And then a police car went down the road after them.”

    One soldier was said to be injured and lying in the street outside the Clermont Hotel in Buckingham Palace Road, Victoria as the horses escaped.
