Three military horses have wreaked havoc after bolting through Central London in yet another incident.
The trio appeared to become spooked during routine exercises near Pimlico at around 8.30am this morning.
Footage circulating on social media showed two of the three horses running along the middle of the road.
Drivers responded by pulling over to avoid further chaos.

Six horses were reportedly conducting routine exercises this morning.
Five soldiers were in control of the pack, with an additional horse being led.

A horse suffered minor injuries but required no further treatment.
Ian Miller, who videod the incident, told The Sun: "I was getting ready for the day and then just heard the sound of horses trotting outside.
"They often use the road to travel between Buckingham Palace and Westminster and are highly trained.
"It was like one was following the other and they were trotting down the road as usual, then I realised neither had a rider.
"One woman was nearly run over because drivers had to pull to the side of the road."

PAAn Army spokesman added: "We can confirm that whilst exercising this morning, three horses from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment became loose from their riders. They were swiftly and safely recovered.
"One horse received minor injuries, but no further treatment is required and there were no injuries to the soldiers involved."
A Metropolitan Police statement also said: "We’re aware that a number of horses were loose in central London and worked with the Army to locate them.
"We're pleased to confirm that all of the horses have been accounted for. We are continuing to liaise with the Army."
The incident happens just weeks after a number of Household Cavlary horses escaped.
