A newly unveiled mural by Banksy, depicting a rhino atop a Nissan Micra, was defaced by a man in a balaclava in Charlton, south-east London.
The incident occurred at around 19:45 BST, witnessed by Stephanie Lester and Devan Vadukul, among others.
This artwork, part of a series of eight new pieces by Banksy across London in eight days, was vandalized just hours after its confirmation on Banksy's Instagram.
