A central London glass police box has been made to look like a tank of piranhas, in the seventh in series of works by the graffiti artist Banksy.

The elusive artist claimed the work as his own by featuring it on his Instagram account in a post at 1pm on Sunday.

The fish depicted on the police box are different in style from the previous six silhouetted designs that Banksy has claimed as his work on successive days over the past week.

Banksy putting piranhas, the vicious fish who eats anything and everything, on a police box is funny as hell.

piranhas aren't nearly as bad as they're made to seem.

cops on the other hand...

You're right, but like vultures they get a bad rep.

The piranha, not the cops.

To be fair, both vultures and cops will kill your dog..
