Banksy’s iconic Park Street artwork ‘Well Hung Lover’ defaced

One of Banksy’s most recognisable artworks has been defaced by vandals.

‘Well Hung Lover’, which has been on display in Bristol’s Park Street since 2006, has been painted over and tagged by unknown graffiti artists.

The legs belonging to the naked man in Banksy’s artwork, pictured hanging from a window ledge while a second man looks out, appear to have been etched over in black paint.

An unidentifiable word has been painted next to the man while ‘F*** Banksy’ has been sprayed a few feet lower, alongside other tags.
