When a 999 call was made to the Met Police Control Centre about an ‘unconscious’ woman who was spotted inside an art gallery, response team officers rushed to the scene.

When they arrived on the scene, they saw a woman slumped over a desk. Despite their best efforts to rouse the woman, she did not move. 

Fearing the worst, the officers forced entry into the premises and immediately went to the woman to check on her welfare. 

However, the ‘woman’ turned out to be a foam-packed mannequin that, from a distance, looked incredibly realistic. 

The work was commissioned by Steve Lazarides, Banksy’s former agent and the dealer behind Laz Emporium.

Mr Lazarides said: “Hannah, who was working in the gallery that day, had just locked up and gone upstairs to make a cup of tea.

“She came down to find the door off its hinges and two confused police officers!”

The installation features a woman wearing trainers, and a yellow hoody slumped face forward in a bowl of soup, her long blonde hair concealing her face.

The realistic sculpture is by American artist Mark Jenkins and is based on Mr Lazarides’ sister.

According to Artnet News, this was not the first time the installation, which sits in the gallery window, has caused trouble for the emergency services. 

In October, London Ambulance Service paramedics were called to assist the ‘woman’.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.
