The incident happened as police formed a cordon to prevent St George’s Day revellers marching up Whitehall towards Trafalgar Square. According to the Met, one man was arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty after “a police horse was targeted on Whitehall”. According to the Express, "An innocent police horse found itself the victim of a brief attack, as a St George's Day protestor armed with an umbrella unleashed a brutal assault in central London."
