A terminally-ill man collared by cops for mooning at a speed camera has claimed graffiti artist Banksy spray-painted a wall in his honour.
Darrell Meekcom is convinced mysterious artwork which has now popped up in Kidderminster belongs to the infamous street painter, reports the Birmingham Mail.
The 55-year-old received an anonymous tip-off that a 'cheeky' mural - featuring Bart Simpson flashing his bum at two police officers - had been etched across a wall for him.
It comes after six cops raided the retired university lecturer's home following reports he mooned behind a van in Kidderminster last week.
The father-of-three had written on his bucket list how he wanted to bare all at a speed camera and brazenly went through with it.
Although unconfirmed, Mr Meekcom has said he is '100 per cent sure' the mural is the latest addition to Banksy's satirical street art collection.
The self-proclaimed 'prankster', from Worcestershire, said: "I'm utterly speechless, it's amazing really. All I was doing was having a bit of fun.
"I can only assume it is Banksy. It's very much along the lines of Banksy. How many people get this opportunity.
"The fact that somebody can make a statement out of a piece of art like that, it's incredible.
"I think it must have struck a cord with Banksy. He is a clear supporter of the little man and that's exactly what's been done here.
"It really depicts the situation very well."
The former Russells Hall Hospital A&E nurse added: "It really does stick the fingers up to all the police officers and I hope they learn from this.
"I just want people to see it. The trouble is, it's going to get destroyed and when the police find out, they are going to white-wash it."
Mr Meekcom has Parkinson's Disease, heart and kidney problems, as well as rare disorder multiple system atrophy.
He insists he did not break the law when he 'wiggled' his bare bum and believes police action was 'disproportionate'.
The married man received a Facebook message from a woman claiming to represent an 'international street artist' who wanted to create a comical piece in response to his arrest.
He was then told the Banksy-style mural had been spray-painted on a wall across the canal from the Watermill pub, in Park Lane, yesterday morning (November 13).
The anonymous painter told Mr Meekcom: "I thought the cheeky, comical, playful and colourful nature of Bart contrasted with the maskless, disproportionate use of force and dark images of the police. All things I felt when I read about your story.
"For however long you have left on this Earth, I wish that it is filled with love and playfulness, and that you complete your bucket list."
A van driver reported Mr Meekcom to West Mercia Police for 'indecent exposure' on Friday, November 5.
Following the incident, Mr Meekcom said cops raided his home and kicked down the garden gate before wrestling him to the ground to put him in cuffs.
Mobile phone footage filmed by wife shows him pleading: "I'm terminally ill, I won't be able to breathe like this.
"This is ridiculous - I moonied a speed camera. I moonied a speed camera."
A cop replies: "Well that is a significant statement that you have just made to us."
He then tells them: "I'm quite happy to say that because it was one off my bucket list. I've just been diagnosed with multiple system atrophy. I'm terminally ill, I've got a very short time to live and it was one off my bucket list.
"Have you never wanted to moonie a speed camera? Well I did."
Mr Meekcom has reported the incident to the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
West Mercia Police previously said the footage had 'caused some concern' among the community.
But the force claimed 'appropriate action' was taken, adding the incident lasted 'significantly longer' than what was shown in the footage.
A force spokesperson said: "We are aware of media coverage concerning an incident in Kidderminster.
"Around 1pm on Friday November 5, officers received a report of indecent exposure on Stourbridge Road.
"Officers attended a property in Coley Close with the intention of speaking to an individual regarding the incident.
"On arrival at the address officers attempted to speak to a man, however the situation developed which led to his subsequent arrest on suspicion of indecent exposure and dangerous driving."
Local Area Commander, Superintendent Mark Colquhoun, added: "We appreciate the footage and commentary circulating around the incident has caused some concern.
"The incident was reviewed at the time and, after consideration of the full facts and circumstances, including reviewing officers' body worn video, I am satisfied that appropriate action was taken by officers.
"The incident lasted around 38 minutes from the time of arrival at the address and therefore lasted significantly longer than the footage already in the media.
"The criminal investigation is ongoing and a complaint has been made to the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC), therefore it would be inappropriate to comment further."
A 55-year-old man from Kidderminster arrested during the incident has since been released on bail.
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare condition of the nervous system that causes gradual damage to nerve cells in the brain.
This affects balance, movement and the autonomic nervous system, which controls several basic functions, such as breathing, digestion and bladder control.
