In August, there was a similar incident involving a a naked Trump statue which also did not last more than a few hours.

NY1 then reports that the statue was ultimately taken away "by an unknown person".

Another woman who confronted the artist about the statue can be heard in the video saying, "We are females".

If you want to see the graphic photos of the statue, head over to The Daily News.

The life-size statue of the Democratic presidential nominee appeared outside a subway station Tuesday in lower Manhattan.

Earlier today, local news station NY1 stumbled upon a "mysterious" statue of a mostly naked Hillary Clinton "depicted with horse hooves, and standing on what appeared to be printouts of emails".

It comes after several statues of a naked Donald Trump were placed around the country - including in Union Square. The debate over the statue spread to onlookers, who argued over whether to take it down. An activist collective called INDECLINE was behind the naked Trump statue but said in a statement that it had no role in the Clinton one. Also, Scioli's statue is reminiscent of another NY piece that was revealed in the big city this year.

"He says it's not his", she expresses with a finger pointing toward Scioli.

"NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small", the organization said in a statement at the time.

Around 8:30 a.m., police officers from the New York City Counter-Terrorism Unit made their way to the scene and forced Scioli to dismantle the piece, due to him not having a proper permit to display it.
