Man in a wig throws cake at the ‘Mona Lisa’

latimes.com – PARIS — A man seemingly disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake at the “Mona Lisa” at the Louvre in Paris and shouted at people to think of planet Earth.

The Paris prosecutor’s office said Monday that the man, 36, was detained following Sunday’s incident and sent to a police psychiatric unit, and that it had opened an investigation into the damage of cultural artifacts.

Videos posted on social media showed a young man in a wig and lipstick who had arrived in a wheelchair. The man, whose full identity or affiliations are unknown, was also seen throwing roses in the museum gallery to slack-jawed guests.
