  I've not seen one in a while, but it does look rather like Himalayan Balsam.
  If it is, it's extremely invasive and should be disposed of before it sets seed

  I agree … Himalayan Balsam. It can catapult its seeds over 6ft walls and occupy the gardens of a whole street within a very few years. Illegal to plant in the wild. PITA.
