Po ulicah Londona bezljali vojaški konji, v incidentu poškodovani štirje vojaki

To jutro je v središču Londona pobegnilo več vojaških konjev. Vse so že ujeli, v bizarnem incidentu pa so bili po do zdaj znanih informacijah poškodovani štirje vojaki. Vojska je sporočila, da je pobegnilo pet konj, dva pa sta poškodovana.

Skozi londonske ulice sta danes zjutraj tekla vojaška konja – en črn, drugi bel.

Vse naj bi se začelo malo pred pol deveto uro zjutraj, ko so bili k Buckinghamski palači poklicani reševalci, saj naj bi posameznik padel s konja. Kmalu zatem je metropolitanska policija sporočila, da je več konjev pobegnilo.

Eden izmed konjev naj bi trčil v taksi, pot naj bi potem oba nadaljevala proti mostu Tower Bridge. Bel konj je po fotografijah sodeč, prekrit z rdečo tekočino, ni pa znano, ali je to barva ali kri.

Konje je poskušala ujeti tako vojska kot tudi policija. Novinar BBC Tony Bonsignore, ki je bil v času incidenta na avtobusu v bližini postaje Victoria Station, je povedal, da je tik za njimi konj zadel v turistični avtobus in razbil vetrobransko steklo. “Na tleh je bila tudi kri. Videl sem konja, ki so ga odpeljali, ni pa jasno, ali se je poškodoval,” je poročal.

Trk je potrdila družba Big Bus Tours, ki je dejala, da nihče v njihovi ekipi ni bil poškodovan, da pa je konj trčil v sprednji del parkiranega avtobusa.

Posnetki na družbenih omrežjih kažejo, da je skupina ljudi poskušala pomiriti pobeglega konja, ki je trčil v avtobus.

Our officers have contained two horses on the highway near Limehouse.” During the horses’ journey, they were spotted smashing into cars, a taxi and a tourist bus, which was left with a smashed windscreen. An employee for tour bus company, Big Bus, Mr Mahmood, said three horses got “out of control” from Buckingham Palace Road. He said: “One of the horses bumped into a bus, then everything got out of control. I saw two horses without riders gallop away. One rider managed to calm his horse down. An ambulance went to assist another rider who had been injured.” A British Army spokesperson 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.” #london #londonhorse #londonhorses #horseslooseinlondon #horsesinlondon #news #uknews #news #londonnews #army #police #runawayhorse #hero ♬ original sound – Yahoo UK

Po več kot treh urah lova za konji so vse ujeli. Tiskovni predstavnik vojske je za BBC povedal, da je pobegnilo pet konj, dva sta poškodovana, vse pa pregleduje veterinar. Ni še jasno, kako hude so poškodbe.

V incidentu so bili po prvih informacijah poškodovani tudi štirje vojaki, ki so jih konji vrgli iz sedla.

Okoli bizarnega incidenta je še veliko nejasnosti, med drugim, od kod in zakaj so konji pobegnili. BBC sicer poroča, da je po njihovih informacijah konje med treniranjem prestrašil zvok na bližnjem gradbišču.
