Facebook User Bragging About Kicking Sheep Sculpture In Times Square?

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Bah, bah bad girl.

Days after a Brooklyn woman was arrested for allegedly decapitating a paper mache sheep sculpture with her foot in Times Square, a Facebook profile page surfaced with what appeared to be someone bragging about the incident.

Police reportedly arrested 22-year-old Taylor Galary Tuesday morning after kicking the installation. The display, by artist Kyu Seok Oh, features a flock of 24 sheep sculptures which was erected this week at the Broadway Pedestrian Plaza to coincide with the Armory Art Show.

Galary reportedly tried to flee in a taxi but was spotted by a Times Square Alliance public safety officer who quickly flagged down a police officer.

She has been charged with criminal mischief.

On Thursday afternoon, a Facebook user, under the same name as the suspect, posted an Antoine Dodson-style status update stating, "HIDE YO SHEEP HIDE YO LAMB."

The post generated 13 "likes" and one user commented, "[W]ho'd have thought it was easier to make an escape on the subway than a cab....plus i lost a shoe!!"

Oh quickly repaired the damaged artwork -- which took him 10 months to create the sculptures.

"This is not a museum, not a gallery — this is Times Square," Oh told DNAinfo.

He said he prefers people "hugging" and "touching" the sheep. The installation will remain on display in Times Square through March 7.

What's your reaction to someone bragging about the demolition of the artwork? Let us know below.
