"Guerrilla" artistBanksy, has revealed his latest stunt - a crumpled red phone box with a pickaxe in the side.

According to the BBC, "The unorthodox exhibit, apparently bleeding, was placed in a street in Soho, central London on Wednesday but was removed by Westminster Council.

Banksy has become notorious for his audacious, clandestine pranks.

A BT spokesman said: "This is a stunning visual comment on BT's transformation from an old-fashioned telecommunications company into a modern communications services provider."

The company later described its request to have the sculpture in the reception of its headquarters as "tongue-in-cheek".
