A tourist was booed after she climbed Copenhagen’s iconic Little Mermaid statue on Saturday (9 September).<br /><br />The unnamed woman was filmed rubbing her nose on the historical landmark, which is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale, despite signs warning against touching the figure.<br /><br />Dylan Trinkler, 19, who witnessed the incident, said: “The Danish people there were saying, ‘this is Danish heritage’ and ‘that’s artwork.’<br /><br />“They started asking her why she was doing it, saying that it was disrespectful, but she just laughed it off.”<br /><br />The sculpture, which sits at Langelinie Pier, was unveiled in 1913.
