Footage of the mounted police officer being knocked off the horse (via @bog_pc).
It appears that the horse was spooked & galloped towards the crowd.
It seems to run beneath a traffic sign which strikes the officer causing him/her to fall off backwards.
Here is the latest @SkyNews report on the situation outside Downing St.

Remaining protesters r now being escorted across Westminster Bridge, & told under the dispersal order they cannot return for 24hrs making it a criminal offence for them to join tmw’s protest.
