Police have said escaped military horses have been contained after they were seen running around central London.
Army personnel and horses have been hurt and vehicles damaged after chaos broke out on Wednesday morning.
Two of the animals, one of which appeared to be bleeding, were seen then running through the city.
It is understood ambulance crews were called around 8.25am after one person was injured after being thrown from a horse.
Meanwhile a taxi driver waiting outside the Clermont Hotel in Buckingham Palace Road had the windows of his car smashed after a spooked horse collided with the Mercedes people carrier.
A horse also crashed into a parked double-decker tour bus, smashing the windscreen.
An 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.”
Following a search, the animals were contained and officers are waiting for an Army horse box to transport 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.”
