Five blood-soaked Household Cavalry horses have run loose in central London after throwing their military riders during an exercise. At least one soldier was injured after a spooked horse smashed into cars outside the Clermont Hotel.

New footage of the runaway Household Cavalry horses shows them crash through parked electric bikes with one falling to the ground after 'being startled by building work' and going on a blind-panic bolt through central London.

At 8.20am on Wednesday five Household Cavalry horses were spooked as they passed through Wilton Crescent in Belgravia after they heard a loud noise from concrete dropping on the floor.Five people, including three soldiers riding the horses, were injured in three separate incidents during the ordeal.

Leading equine charity, The Horse Trust, has offered to rescue them if they are unable to return to military duty. Vida is believed to have a history of being spooked and even allegedly kicked a soldier in the head during the King's Coronation, where he usually carries a trumpeter from the Household Cavalry.

An Army spokesman told MailOnline in reference to Vida and Quaker: 'We are hoping that both these horses make a recovery. Whether they will recover enough to return to official duties, it's too early to know for sure.
