Banksy leaves London baffled as mysterious statue appears overnight

Banksy's latest work appeared under cover of darkness in central London, a 25-foot resin sculpture of a suited man blindly stepping from a plinth, flag over his face, sparking fierce debate. Westminster Council said they had no prior warning. Banksy's Instagram video later revealed how a truck, hydraulic crane and crew, working overnight, installed it on Pall Mall near iconic statues. The artwork, described as 'unsolicited', was confirmed as Banksy's by his spokesperson. Westminster Council is considering what to do next but says the statue remains accessible for public view.
