A sculpture has been vandalised just a day after it was unveiled to the public.
Brighton and Hove City Council was forced to put a fence around the artwork, made from plants forming a giant human torso coming out of the ground with an outstretched arm, after someone walked over it on Thursday night.
The installation, called In Our Hands and fashioned from drought-tolerant plants and a tree, was not badly damaged.
The work, in Valley Gardens, south of St Peter's Church, Brighton, was designed by Kathryn Jordan from Brighton and Cliff Wright, from Newhaven, who has illustrated two of the Harry Potter books.
It was commissioned by Brighton and Hove Arts Commission City in Bloom as part of the Eco-city in Bloom project.
