New footage of the runaway Household Cavalry horses shows them crash through parked electric bikes with one falling to the ground after 'being startled by building work' and going on a blind-panic bolt through central London.
The video from the day of the incident shows the horses running across a road and crashing through parked e-bikes.
A white horse, thought to be the runaway seen covered in claret named Vida, can be seen falling to the ground as it collides with the bikes suggesting that this incident could have caused the bloody injuries.
At 8.20am on Wednesday five Household Cavalry horses were spooked as they passed through Wilton Crescent in Belgravia after they heard a loud noise from concrete dropping on the floor.
They bolted and fled through busy city streets on a rampage that lasted two hours.
Five people, including three soldiers riding the horses, were injured in three separate incidents during the ordeal.

The horses slammed into a tour bus parked on Buckingham Palace Road and a taxi outside the Clermont Hotel - smashing their windows - before two were seen running through Aldwych with their chests covered in blood.
They ran for six miles through the capital before finally being caught in Limehouse, east London.
Two of the steeds, Vida and Quaker, are said to be 'seriously injured' with army bosses claiming it is 'too early to know' if they will ever return to active duty.
Leading equine charity, The Horse Trust, has offered to rescue them if they are unable to return to military duty.

Vida is believed to have a history of being spooked and even allegedly kicked a soldier in the head during the King's Coronation, where he usually carries a trumpeter from the Household Cavalry.
Quaker, a black stallion, was more seriously injured after it is believed he smashed into the side of a silver Mercedes Taxi, leading to a life-saving surgery at an undisclosed equine hospital on Wednesday night.
A spokesperson for the MOD confirmed that it was a horse named Tenneyson, who collided with a bus, smashing its windscreen.
An Army spokesman told MailOnline in reference to Vida and Quaker: 'We are hoping that both these horses make a recovery. Whether they will recover enough to return to official duties, it's too early to know for sure.'

AdvertisementHe added: 'But they've been given the best veterinary treatment possible and had they not been attached to the army then I don't believe they would have made it this far.
'Vida was the most visibly injured and the pictures of the horse running through London soaked in blood were horrifying. Vida was operated on overnight and is currently in stables at the Hyde Park Barracks under observation.
'Quaker is the most seriously injured and was also operated on overnight but it was decided to move the horse to an equine hospital in the early hours.
'The extent of the injuries is not completely clear but we don't believe at this stage there are any broken bones. The injuries are consistent with serious lacerations.'
Trojan and Tennyson are expected to make full recoveries and resting under the observation of Army veterinary officers.
Army top brass told MailOnline the horses were given the best treatment possible by military vets, which saved their lives.
