Warning: The following post contains depictions of nudity.

A naked statue of Hillary Clinton appeared in New York, igniting fury amongst bystanders in the area.

On Tuesday morning the statue depicting the Democratic candidate with hoofed feet and a Wall Street banker resting his head on her chest appeared outside of the Bowling Green subway station in Manhattan's financial district.

The New York Daily News reported that the protest art was up for less than three hours before a woman began publicly expressing her anger to the artist.

The video below, taken by the Daily News, shows the a fight breaking out between a woman by the name of Nancy and the artist of the statue, who identified himself as 27-year-old Anthony Scioli.

The footage shows Nancy, an employee at the nearby National Museum of the American Indian, arguing with Scioli as he makes inappropriate gestures with the statue. Nancy eventually sits on the statue to prevent him from doing so further.

Toward the end of the footage, another woman can be heard shouting, "We are females, we shouldn't be treated this way," about the disrespectful display.

"To put something up like this in front of my work place... I shouldn’t have to see this," Nancy emotionally told the Daily News.

Unfortunately, this is not the first political statue to pop up during this presidential election. Naked statues of Donald Trump have also been spotted around the country, but, for the most part, appeared to have been met with more lighthearted reactions.
