The man, who has short hair and glasses, can be seen climbing over the black railing.

The passerby who captured the pictures said: “I noticed the man in a black hoodie who seemed to have finished his work hand over a box to an assistant in a grey checked flannel shirt with grey hair.

“He then started to climb over the fence I had a gut feeling that it could be a Banksy mural and that was Banksy himself.

The man quickly left the scene in a van after the photo was taken. SWNS

“I quickly focused on taking pictures of him he looked at me with an expression which seemed to say ‘I’ve have been spotted.’

“He quickly left the scene in a black van parked near the mural.”
