The horse of the royal guard bit a tourist (4 photos + 1 video)

25 July 2024

The incident occurred on July 21 at the Cavalry Museum in central London. The woman wanted to take a memorable photo, but a horse from the guard of Charles III grabbed her hand.





The tourist broke free with a scream and began to examine the wound. In the video, a man treats the wound while the victim appears to lose consciousness.



You can even hear the guardsman say: "Could you go get the policeman?"

Signs hang nearby warning that the horses "may kick and bite."





Then we see a woman at the fence, she is being helped, and a law enforcement officer is standing nearby.



The King's Guards are not allowed to interact with the public, but they may shout and draw bayonets if people get too close to them or become aggressive.

This formation includes soldiers from the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scottish, Irish and Welsh regiments.

The ceremonial uniform of the guard is known throughout the world - red uniforms and tall hats made of bear fur. Soldiers must serve honorably regardless of the weather: rain significantly burdens already voluminous headgear, and heat increases the risk of heat stroke.

The changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace attracts crowds of tourists. The ceremony can be seen on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays between August and May.
