Ruffled feathers: SA artist Cohen arrested in Paris
Wearing a bird costume, South African performance artist Steven Cohen was arrested for sexual exhibitionism, says a report.
South African artist Steven Cohen was arrested on Tuesday in a "highly touristic place of Paris" and charged with sexual exhibitionism.
"The eccentric artist paraded around Trocadero Square facing the Eiffel Tower at 9.30am, clad in a bird costume, high heels and a living rooster tied to his genitals," said news site RFI on Wednesday.
He was later released, with a court date scheduled for December 16.
