A statue of a naked Hillary Clinton has drawn the ire of New Yorkers when it appeared at a subway station yesterday morning.

A tussle began at the Bowling Green station in Lower Manhattan over the sculpture depicting the Democratic presidential nominee topless and with horse hooves.

The sculpture also included a Wall Street banker pressed against Clinton's breast.

It appeared weeks after a series of statues of a naked Donald Trump appeared throughout New York, but the Clinton sculpture did not amuse locals anywhere near as much.

Police had to be called when a passing woman toppled the Clinton statue and kicked it, as artist Anthony Scioli tried to intervene.

"That's a total disrespect towards women," another woman said.

Artists' representative Zachary Cedarbaum said some of the creators supported Donald Trump, while others backed Clinton.

"We're trying to fight for the right to have the government of the people by the people for the people," he told NY1.

"Instead of, of the banks, by the banks, for the banks."

The group responsible for the Trump statue said they had no role in the Clinton sculpture.

The Trump sculpture was taken down by the city in August for being put up in public without a permit.

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

The Clinton statue was removed by the artists so it could be repaired.

Manhattan is considered a bastion of Democratic strength in New York, despite being home to Donald Trump.

In 2012 President Barack Obama earned 84 percent of the vote in the New York borough, compared to just 14 percent for Mitt Romney.
