Man disguised as ‘old woman’ attacks Mona Lisa with cake
Euronews says a bizarre incident occurred at the Louvre Museum in Paris yesterday (29 May) as a man in disguise smeared a cake over the Mona Lisa.
Videos posted on social media appear to show the young man arriving in a wheelchair, wearing a wig and lipstick.
One Twitter user wrote that a man “dressed as an old lady jump[ed] out of a wheelchair and attempted to smash the bulletproof glass of the Mona Lisa” before “smear[ing] cake on the glass.”
The man, whose identity has not been confirmed, claims to be an environmental protester.
“Think about the Earth. There are people who are destroying the Earth. Think about it. All the artists tell you to think about the Earth. All the artists think about the Earth. That’s why I did this. Think about the planet,” shouted the disguised man as he was escorted out of the museum by security.
