A Central Park carriage horse bolted into oncoming traffic in Midtown Manhattan last week, colliding with several vehicles, according to the NYPD and video of the runaway equine.
The incident — captured in a social media video shared by the anti-horse carriage group New Yorkers for Clean, Livable, and Safe Streets (NYCLASS) — saw what appears to be a spooked driverless horse pulling an empty carriage out of Central Park. It then barreled into traffic accross the four-way intersection of West 59th Street and Sixth Avenue, and down a block of Sixth Avenue.
