G20 Spray-Painter Accepts Caution

An Islington man, accused of spray painting the Wellington Statue in front of the Bank of England during the G20 demonstration in the City of London earlier this year, will be cautioned by police instead of prosecuted.

Francis Medina, 41, of Upper Caldy Walk, had originally been charged with causing criminal damage to the national monument, (pictured) by graffiti, on April 1.

City of London Magistrates’ Court heard on Thursday the prosecution would be dropped on medical grounds.
