From BBC Bristol:
An artwork by street artist Banksy in Bristol has been painted over in an incident described by residents as an "act of vandalism".
The painting, opposite Bristol Children's Hospital, is of a crouched armed police officer, with a child about to burst a paper bag behind him.
The picture first appeared on Upper Maudlin Street four years ago. It has now been covered in black. It is not yet known if the black paint can be removed.
