On Tuesday, an artist installed a statue of Hillary Clinton near Manhattan’s Bowling Green station.
The piece showed Clinton mostly unclothed with a Wall Street banker’s head pressed against one of her exposed breasts.
It also featured hooves instead of feet.
Though the statue stood for some time without incident, tempers did eventually flare.
Among the incidents was a fight between a woman and the 27-year-old man who credited himself as the artist.
Another involved a person knocking over the statue and sitting on it, threatening those who attempted to put it back up.
It has since been removed by authorities.
This was not the first work depicting a naked presidential candidate to appear in New York.
Back in August, numerous nude Donald Trumps were displayed there and around the nation.
