Bristol mayor Marvin Rees tweeted: “I understand people want expression, but the statue has been put up without permission.”
The memorial to the 17th Century slave merchant was pulled down last month.
The 24-year-old was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and has been released under investigation.
Dr Ebun Joseph says it’s time to move the conversation away from “dead white men”.
Bristol’s mayor Marvin Rees had previously confirmed the statue would be exhibited in a museum.
A crowd which had joined a Black Lives Matter protest in Bristol tore down the statue of Edward Colston.
