A horse pulling a carriage escaped its handler Monday in Central Park, knocking down a traffic sign and forcing passengers to jump out of the vehicle to escape, dramatic video of the event shows.

The runaway horse got loose on Labor Day near the Central Park Dairy building, close to the 65th Street Transverse Road , according to video posted on the Stopping NYC Horse Abuse Instagram page.

Video shows the horse pulling a carriage with no driver; the horse runs over a crosswalk sign before continuing down the road as passengers jump out of the back, and a man, presumably the horse’s handler, runs behind the cart yelling out.

“Call 911,” an eyewitness says.
