Mounted Police Safety Alert | Birmingham News

West Midlands Police are cracking down on reckless behavior after a man was charged with sexually assaulting an officer on horseback — part of a dangerous social media trend. Two investigations are underway, including one involving a 36-year-old facing court next month. Officers warn that touching horses or riders is strictly off-limits unless it’s an emergency — doing so could lead to legal trouble and serious injury. Mounted units, back in service for the first time in 26 years, are trained professionals here to serve, not be harassed. Respect and safety are non-negotiable.
