Mona Lisa: targeted in Louvre cake-throwing attack
Mona-Lisa-Cake-Attack
An apparently disguised man in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake into a glass to protect the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum,
and shouted at people to think about the planet Earth.
The Paris prosecutor's office said Monday that the 36-year-old man had been detained following Sunday's incident.
He was sent to a police psychiatric unit and began investigating the loss of cultural relics.
Videos posted on social media show a young man in a wheelchair wearing a wig and lipstick. That person,
Whose complete identity or affiliation is unknown, he was also seen throwing roses at the museum's gallery for loose guests.
The cake attack left a clear white creamy stain on the glass but did not damage Leonardo da Vinci's famous work.
Security guards escorted the wig-wearing worker away as he called surprised spectators to the gallery:
"Think of the earth. There are some people who are destroying the earth. Think of it. The artist tells you: Think of the earth. So I did it."
