The secretive artist posted the video on his blog as part of his “artist’s residency on the streets of New York”, called Better Out Than In, which he is undertaking this month.

While they celebrate the hit with cries of “Allahu Akbar!” (“God is great”), a small child, distraught at the incident, runs up to one of the fighters and kicks his shin, causing him to double over in pain.
