Police in New York City arrested Mona Eltahawy -- an Egyptian-American activist -- yesterday, after she defaced posters in the city's subway that compare radical Muslims to "savages," the Global Post website reports today (September 26, 2012).
Eltahawy was held overnight, and is due to be charged shortly with a criminal mischief misdemeanor.
A video shows Eltahawy spray-painting over one of the controversial ads in Times Square station. Two policemen then arrested Eltahawy and led her away in handcuffs.
The ad -- placed in the New York subway this week by anti-Islam blogger Pamela Geller and her American Freedom Defense Initiative -- reads: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
