Moment Banksy rhino artwork is defaced by man in balaclava

A new London mural unveiled by renowned street artist Banksy has been defaced by a man wearing a black balaclava.

The piece, which shows a rhino mounting a Nissan Micra with a traffic cone on its bonnet, was spray painted with a tag by the man on Monday evening.

Witnesses can be heard gasping as the man defaced the artwork and walked away to criticism from the crowd.

The now-defaced rhino was the eighth new London piece by Banksy in eight days.
