Banksy artwork shows judge attacking protester
Banksy has unveiled a new artwork depicting a judge attacking a protester with a gavel.
The artwork, at the Royal Courts of Justice in London, has already been covered up with large sheets of black plastic and two metal barriers.
It is also being guarded by security officials outside the building and sits under a CCTV camera.

The artwork, which was shared by the artist on Instagram, depicts a judge armed with a gavel standing over a protester. The protester can be seen holding a white picket sign sprayed in what appears to be blood.
The images were accompanied with the caption: “Royal Courts of Justice. London”.

Banksy, whose identity is the source of constant speculation, made headlines last summer with his animal-themed collection in the capital, which concluded with a gorilla appearing to lift up a shutter on the entrance to London Zoo.
Other notable works included piranhas swimming on a police sentry box in the City of London, turning the box into what looked like a giant fish tank, and a howling wolf on a satellite dish, which was taken off the roof of a shop in Peckham, south London, less than an hour after it was unveiled.
The animals collection was made up of nine works, including a rhino, seemingly mounting a silver Nissan Micra, two elephant silhouettes with their trunks stretched out towards each other, and three monkeys that looked as though they were swinging on a bridge.
