King's Guard horse bites woman and leaves her with giant, 'painful' bruise

A woman has told how she was left with a "big bruise" after she was bitten by a King's Guard horse after a tourist posing for a photo was also grabbed by the hair.

Kirsty Curtis, 43, got too close to the animal in Horse Guards Parade in St James's Park, London, when she was bitten on the arm.

She suffered bruising and pain from the bite but did not require hospital treatment, she said, while being keen not to blame the horse.
