Clifton residents had a shock last night after a huge troll appeared to break out of one of the Suspension Bridge abutments and jump into the River Avon.

At about 8.30pm the 200ft-tall creature - dressed up as the bridge's designer Brunel - appeared to break through the stonework and make a break for freedom.

The animation was projected onto the bridge by Bristol-based creative agencies Taxi Studio and Play Nicely.

It followed the story of two graffiti artists spraying the underside of the bridge who disturb a troll living there, only to incur the full force of his wrath.

    “Was it one of the notorious trolls that live on this discussion group?

    Seriously, that was very classy. Wish I'd been there to see it.”
