The panicked horses threw off their riders, crashed into vehicles, and ran through crowded streets, causing panic among tourists and workers.
The dramatic chase ended with two horses injured and paramedics treating multiple people for injuries.
The incident highlighted the challenges of having large animals in a busy urban environment and raised concerns about the welfare of the horses involved.
