From AFP News Agency.

A large statue has appeared on a plinth in central London with Banksy’s name scrawled on the base. After speculation, the street artist confirmed he was behind the new work drawing crowds.

The man depicted on the statue is mounted on a plinth, with one leg striding off it, and appears to be blindly stepping off the platform without knowing it, due to the flag enveloping his face.

The artist is best known for his satirical murals, often using a distinctive stencilling style.
