Two Yes Men dressed up in their clown costumes played around and mocked the Wall Street Charging Bull on Wednesday morning.

Their antics drew onlookers and police to the scene for very different reasons. The visitors laughed as the disrespectful clowns, Hannah Morgan and Louis Jargow, who climbed over the barricades and pretended to goad and hump The Bull, all while playing the harmonica.

“This bull has ruined millions of lives!” Jargow yelled as he lay on the ground face-down when NYPD officers arrested him. “Yet he and his accomplices have been rewarded with billions of our tax dollars—and we, here to put a stop to it all, are thrown to the ground. ¡Un escándalo [a scandal]!”

The Yes Men are, of course, part of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The NYPD set up the barricades for its protection from the OWS protestors shortly after they began the movement.

A third Yes Man was a part of the event. Dressed as a matador, he climbed on top of The Bull in full regalia and proceeded to wave a red cape.

“I wondered whether I, neophyte matador, could bring down this behemoth, world-famous for charging towards profit while trampling underfoot the average worker,” said the mock bull fighter. “Come what may, I knew I must try.”

The NYPD quickly arrived on the scene and arrested the two clowns. The matador was not arrested, but no one has released his name.

The NYPD has not commented on the event.
