00:01Banksy has claimed a new sculpture in central London showing a man striding off a plinth with his face covered
00:08by a billowing flag.
00:10The artwork appeared on a traffic island in Waterloo Place near the Mall and bears the artist's signature.
00:16It's positioned close to statues including Edward VII and Florence Nightingale, where Banksy said there was a gap.
00:23The artist is known for politically charged works which appear without warning in public spaces.
00:29The latest piece adds to a long series of high-profile installations across the capital which have appeared overnight and
00:36drawn widespread public attention.
00:39Authorities have not yet commented on the installation or whether it will remain.
