How many people are attacked by sharks? 

Horse trials

Five Household Cavalry horses bolted in central London, with two reaching Limehouse before being calmed down. It may have been a shocking sight in the 21st century but it would have been ordinary life in the 19th century.

– By the 1890s there were 300,000 horses in London. It was not uncommon for them to bolt in the street. Between 1854 and 1861, 62 people are recorded by Guy’s Hospital as having died as a result of collisions with horse-drawn vehicles. A bigger day-to-day problem was with dung, 1,000 tons of which were produced by the animals every day.
– The last time a horse bolted in a London street was during the Black Lives Matter protests in June 2020 when a police horse was spooked and ran riderless into crowds.
