Twin brothers have been arrested after footage appeared to show them recklessly riding horses in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina, before one got lose and was struck by a car.
Deven Moore and Desmon Moore, both 27, were charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a public officer following the April 3 incident, court records obtained by the Daily Mail show.
The arrests stemmed from an incident that began when two men appeared to have been captured on video riding horses down a city street.
The video showed a man attempting to stand on top of the horse, then falling off, causing the horse to run away.
As the horse rode off, it was struck by a vehicle passing through a nearby intersection.
It is unclear if the Moore brothers are the men seen in the footage, but court records indicate they were arrested at the same intersection on the same night.
Witness Ja'Queria Lynch told Queen City News the riders appeared to be performing tricks.
'The police arrived there pretty quickly, so we didn't have to worry about that or anything,' Lynch said.

The horse appeared to roll over a vehicle, promoting screams from witnesses. One witness said the horse was seen standing after the horrible fall
'But my first immediate thought was, like, is that horse okay? Because it rolled over the car.
'I don't know if he was trying to show off,' Lynch said. 'I'm not sure where his headspace was, but he stood on the horse, and he just fell off.'
The horse's status is currently unknown, but Lynch told the news outlet someone with her group told her the horse was seen standing up after.
According to the Moore brothers arrest affidavits', police were called to the intersection in reference to disturbance between large group of individuals.
Officers attempted to detain Deven, who was allegedly trying to fight a person, when police says Desmon tried to grab his brother from the cops, according to court documents.
'[Desmon] was yelling and cursing while officers were in brief struggle to place him into cuffs,' an arrest affidavit stated.
Police say he began to physically resist arrest and refused to give officers his name.
Deven was released on $1,000 bond and his next court hearing is scheduled for July 22.
