A RUNAWAY horse damaged an Audi car, right, after being “spooked” in Jericho.
The horse was towing a man and a woman on a trap when it broke free and damaged the black car on Wednesday evening.
Eye witness Alan MacLean said: “It suddenly turned and threw the man off and then the woman.”
He said the Audi driver pulled over, adding: “The horse ran towards it, reared up and tried to run over the car.

“I think it had got spooked.”
The 33-year-old Network Rail worker, of Southmoor Road, said: “(The driver) looked a bit stunned. He had bits of glass all over him.”
Mr MacLean said the horse – which he described as a Shire horse – galloped off after smashing the windscreen.
And Twitter user, Chris Wood, later said he saw six police cars and an ambulance with a man and a horse on Bainton Road in Summertown.
