Shocking moment tourist bitten by King's Guard horse while posing for picture
A tourist appeared to feel faint after she was bitten by a King's Guard horse.
Footage posted online shows the moment the female tourist was bitten on the arm outside the Household Cavalry Museum in London.
The un-named tourist was taking her turn to pose for a picture when the horse bit her on the upper arm and dragged her towards it. The woman let out a yell in pain and was left cradling her arm. After a few seconds, she was was seen kneeled over and crouched on the floor.
A sign behind the animal and its rider in the video reads: “Beware, horse may kick or bite. Don’t touch the reins, thank you.”
Tourists are warned of the risks of getting too close to the horses. In a statement the Army added: “Whilst every effort is made to ensure public safety, horses may bite or kick.
“We continue to remind the public to adhere to the very clear warning signs and maintain a safe distance.”
