A graffiti vandal has defaced a gable wall painting by renowned Northern Ireland artist Terry Bradley.
Hundreds of outraged art lovers and public-spirited citizens posted messages of shock and horror after the artist shared a picture of the Bangor High Street wall painting the vandal had attacked.
He captioned it simply with a sad-faced emoji and one word: Shame.
The culprit spray-painted a crude image of male genitalia across the striking image of a woman gazing over her shoulder entitled Don t Look Back - versions of which sell for up to £1,100 on Mr Bradley s website.
The vandal had even tagged their own unique signature to the adolescent daub - something which led locals to hope the culprit would be easy to identify and bring to justice.
