A BRAZEN Brit has been caught on camera using a power tool to cut down one of London’s infamous ULEZ cameras.
The video shows an anonymous bloke wearing all black chopping down a pole supporting one of the ULEZ cameras through the use of what appears to be an angle grinder.
The man, seemingly belonging to the activism group Blade Runners – who are dedicated to the removal of ULEZ cameras – then topples the pole to the ground in triumph.
Filmed from a car across the street under the cover of darkness, the video shows the bold man holding his power tool to the pole that the camera is attached to.
The grinding sound of metal on metal can be heard as the angle grinder cuts through the pole, with passing vehicles apparently unfazed by the man’s vandalism.
The man then shuts his tool off and gives the pole one simple shove, which sends it tumbling to the ground – camera and all – with a crash.
The man, whose identity is shrouded by his all-black hooded get-up and mask, then nonchalantly turns and walks away from the scene of the crime.
The clip was posted to social media yesterday by one user who praised the man’s actions as he wrote: “Hat tip – Blade Runners UK.”
The post has since received over 1,400 likes and more than 100 comments from users seemingly of the same belief as the anonymous chap.
One user said: “What a lovely sound they make when hitting the ground.”
Another added: “This is absolutely beautiful, I totally support these incredible brave people, it’s time we all say enough is enough.”
A third commented: “Sales of cordless angle grinders are rocketing apparently, starting from £37.99 at an online marketplace near you. Don’t forget to dress warmly.”
A fourth wrote: “Another idiotic waste of money, get these clowns locked up and costs recovered.”
