A hideous statue of Hillary Clinton was erected in lower Manhattan on Tuesday, sparking a scrum between an offended woman and those defending the artist’s freedom of expression.
The misshapen nude, hoofed caricature popped up outside the Bowling Green subway station around 6 a.m., causing a rush-hour commotion.
An irate woman knocked down the statue, breaking off parts of it and sitting on it around 7 a.m., while the unnamed artist and a male supporter tried to save it, witnesses said.
The woman called police, who told the unnamed artist to move it. The statue was gone by 7:30 a.m.
“Yeah, I hope they put you in cuffs,” the male artist said during Tuesday’s brouhaha. “I’m just trying to preserve my art here.”
“This is my workplace, I have to look at this?” the upset woman said.
As she sat on the statue, a man shouted out: “Does anyone have a forklift?”
Before that woman’s intervention, most passersby seemed to view the statue as harmless, witnesses said.
“When the lady started kicking it, then it got serious,” said Demetrius Aspinall, 22, who works at a nearby farmers’ market. “Just because you don’t like it, you shouldn’t be taking it upon yourself to destroy it.”
A naked Donald Trump statue was erected near Union Square back in August.

Good point! And at least the artist got the fat thighs and cellulite correct.
