A naked statue of Hillary Clinton appeared on the streets of New York City Tuesday morning, sparking a fight between the artist and a woman who deemed it 'obscene'.
Created by Anthony Scioli, the artwork depicted Clinton with hooves stomping on deleted emails with what appears to be a Wall Street banker wrapping his arms around her naked body.
Witnesses said the statue appeared before 6am, and it wasn't before long that an employee at a neighboring museum named Nancy toppled it over, the New York Daily News reported.

A crowd gathered around as Nancy as she toppled the artwork, wrestled it away from Scioli, and sat on the statue to prevent it from being erected again.
One woman in the crowd tried to break up the commotion, telling people to leave it alone, while others shouted at Nancy for damaging the statue.
Nancy was on the brink of tears when she later told the Daily News: 'To put something up like this in front of my work place...I should have to see this.'
Within three hours, the statue got the attention of officers on the city's counter-terrorism unit, who ordered Scioli to take it down because he did not have the proper permit.
The artwork appeared two months after similar statues of a naked Donald Trump emerged in multiple cities, including New York (pictured), San Francisco, LA, Cleveland and Seattle
