London police have contained the two runaway horses seen pacing through the streets of the capital, raising confusion among residents.

The animals, wearing saddles and bridles, were seen racing along the road near Aldwych this morning, which is in between London’s historic financial center and the West End, the hub of the capital’s entertainment industry.

The two horses belonged to one of the most senior regiments in the British Army. Later on Wednesday, police said all the animals were accounted for.

The animals skirted rush hour traffic this morning, but the spooked animals also hit a taxi and several other vehicles, according to British media outlets. The front of one of the horses, which was white, was covered in either red paint or blood.
