"Words Can Bite or Strike"... Tourist Who Ignored Royal Guard's Warning Eventually Faces Consequences

Woman Bitten by British Guard Horse Eventually Faints

A horse belonging to the British Army Household Cavalry bit a tourist who approached closely to take a photo with the guards, causing the tourist to lose consciousness.

According to foreign media including the New York Post on the 22nd (local time), a tourist who recently approached a horse for a photo was bitten by the horse, prompting the police to intervene. Warning signs stating "Caution, horses may kick or bite" are installed around the horses, but the location remains a popular spot for photos among tourists.

A video capturing the incident was posted on YouTube. The footage shows a woman wearing a black hat and a short-sleeved T-shirt standing next to the horse for a photo, when the horse immediately bites her arm. The woman screams and runs to her companions. Her group carefully checked the wound, but her condition worsened, and she even sat down on the street. A bystander near the woman said, "She was really badly hurt."

Netizens who saw the video reacted with comments such as, "The horse seemed startled by the woman suddenly approaching and bit her arm," "I am concerned about the woman's health," and "There is a warning sign right next to them, so why do people ignore it?"

Earlier in April, five horses from the British Army Household Cavalry ran out of control through central London, causing chaos. Four citizens were injured in the incident. The British Army stated in a press release, "Several military horses went out of control during routine training this morning," adding, "All were recovered and returned to the base, but several people and horses were injured and are receiving appropriate treatment."

At the time, six soldiers were controlling seven horses, but it is reported that four soldiers fell off their horses after the horses were startled and agitated by loud noises from a nearby construction site.
