THIS picture shows the bizarre moment a police horse appeared to board a double decker bus after mounted cops were called to an emergency on board.

Officers responded to reports a man had collapsed on the 43 bus in Islington, London, at 11.20am on Tuesday, and left the pony on the pavement.

But the cheeky animal, named Invictor, couldn't resist a nosy inside the bus and was snapped by a passer-by sticking its head inside the rear doors.

The Met Police Taskforce retweeted the picture, taken by Simon Crowford, describing the horse as a "team player".
