The exact moment in which a King Charles III‘s guard horse attacked a tourist who was posing for a photo was captured on video, but it will be an encounter that the visitor will never want to remember.
A woman tried to pose right next to the royal guard to take a picture with the elegant man in armor and the horse, but she didn’t count on the fact that the interaction would end with her receiving medical help after being bitten by the animal.
In the footage, you can see that just behind where the woman stood to take the snapshot, there was a warning sign that read, “Beware: Horses May Kick or Bite. Don’t touch the reins. Thank you“, however, tourists ignored this sign and exceeded the limits set to ensure their safety.

After many tourists tried to pet or take pictures very close to the horse, it began to show signs of irritation. As soon as another woman made a sudden move for a photo, the horse reacted and bit her arm, leaving her injured, and the cameraman is even heard saying, “I thought she was going to pass out“.
