Crazy of the Day

It seems a scared horse attached to a carriage, which is mean and unnecessary in this post-industrialized era of ours, went on a rampage through North Beach and The Embarcadero, "hospitalizing its handler and knocking at least two people off bicycles," according to SF Examiner. The incident, happening around 6 p.m. on Saturday, occurred as "the horse was being prepared for work when it was apparently spooked." The frightening horse, according to SFPD, also 'knocked down its handler and trampled over him." Yikes. Then, after that, the equine darted down The Embarcadero, "tracing a course through Fisherman's Wharf and North Beach, before finally being corralled by a Good Samaritan." But the horse's will proved too strong, because it busted free and galloped down The Embarcadero, "knocking down at least two bicyclists." Finally, two bystanders managed to subdue to horse, who has since been taken to a veterinarian in Novato.
