A carriage horse dies in Central Park after collapsing while still attached to a tourist carriage in Manhattan, New York City, on Tuesday evening. The horse, named Deniz, was working inside Central Park when it suddenly went down, prompting calls for Mayor Zohran Mamdani to move ahead with a ban on horse-drawn rides, an issue that has lingered in city politics for years.
The incident, which unfolded around 7.30 pm, was captured on video shared online and later reported by US media, showing bystanders attempting to free the animal as it lay on its side. The driver later said that the horse collapsed 'in two seconds' and described the loss as deeply personal. No official cause of death has yet been confirmed, and a necropsy is expected.
