Two escaped horses have been contained after they were seen running around central London, the City of London police force have said.
The force said officers were waiting for an army horse box to collect the animals and take them to a vet.
In a statement, police said: “At around 8.40am, we were called about horses that had become loose and were travelling through the City. Our officers have contained two horses on the highway near Limehouse.
“We’re waiting for an army horse box to collect the horses and transport them to veterinary care.”
Earlier, the animals, wearing saddles and bridles, were seen running in the road near Aldwych on Wednesday morning.
Pictures and videos of the horses were shared on social media, one of which showed a black 4x4 with blue lights following the animals.
A Metropolitan police spokesperson said: “We are aware of a number of horses on the loose in central London. We are working with colleagues in the army to locate them.”
