A tourist in London experienced a terrifying encounter when she was bitten by a horse from the King’s Guard, causing her to collapse to the ground. The incident was captured on video and posted on YouTube by the account Buska in The Park. The footage shows the horse becoming increasingly agitated by the growing crowd, with one tourist getting too close and being bitten hard on the arm.
Despite visible signs warning visitors about the risks of horses kicking or biting, the warnings were ignored. In the video, after the bite, the woman is seen in visible pain before collapsing to the ground. A follow-up video reveals that the guard on duty asked the cameraman to call the police, while tourists continued to crowd the clearly distressed horse.
Viewers criticized the tourists for their actions, emphasizing the horse’s clear signs of agitation. Comments on the video pointed out that previous tourists had been nearly bitten and that ignoring the warning signs was foolish.
This incident is not an isolated one, as there have been other reports of tourists being bitten by King’s Guard horses. Kirsty Curtis previously shared a warning after a similar experience, acknowledging that it was her fault for getting too close despite the clear warnings. These repeated incidents highlight the importance of respecting the safety signs and the animals’ space to prevent such accidents.
