Banksy’s in the Hood–and Then Fight Breaks Out

Nov. 1, 2013 By Christian Murray

Banksy struck again.

This time at Borden Avenue and 35th Street.

This piece of work wasn’t like the rest. The artist attached black and white letter-shaped balloons that spelled out his name to the top of an industrial building.

While some admired the work, two men tried to steal it.

However, when others tried to stop him from carting away the balloons away a fight ensued. The NYPD arrived and arrested three men involved in the fight.  The cops also took the artwork away (click here for video).

The Police said Friday that the three men were arrested on criminal trespassing charges for entering the property.

Another man was issued a summons for disorderly conduct, police said.

This was the famed artist last work in New York. On his website he wrote: “Thanks for your patience. It’s been fun. Save 5pointz. Bye.”
