Cake attack on Mona Lisa painting

The protester, a man disguised as an elderly woman in a wheelchair, was escorted from the Louvre and shouted “think of the earth”.

The Mona Lisa has been attacked in a bizarre protest where a man dressed as a wheelchair-bound woman launched cake at the famous painting.

The artwork of Leonardo da Vinci, also known as the Gioconda, was vandalized on Sunday at the Louvre in Paris.

A man “dressed as an old lady” jumped out of a wheelchair and tried to break the bulletproof glass protecting the painting, a witness said.

He then smeared cake on the glass and “threw roses everywhere” before being “handled” by security and removed from the museum, reports Windobi.
