A man disguised as an elderly woman in a wheelchair has thrown cake at the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting at the Louvre in Paris.
Video footage shared online shows the protective glass covering the world’s most famous artwork, by Leonardo da Vinci, smeared with icing from a cake.
Witnesses claimed they saw a man ‘dressed as an old lady’ jump out of a wheelchair yesterday and attempt to smash the glass case at the Louvre in Paris, France.
It appeared he was a climate protester, with some bystanders hearing him say in French: ‘Think of the planet… there are people who are destroying the planet, think about that… That’s why I did it.’
