A total of five military horses were spooked when rubble crashed onto the floor during renovation work on the multi-millionaire businessman's town house resulting in four service staff being thrown from their mount.
Three soldiers and a cyclist were injured as the animals galloped through the streets smashing into cars, a taxi and a double-decker tourist bus on Wednesday morning.
The mayhem is being blamed on noise from work on a basement extension at the Peace family's five-floor Belgravia home close to the Bangladesh High Commission and the Argentine and Mexican Embassies.
