Two topless protesters had to be removed by police from a polling station in New York City where Donald Trump was expected to cast his vote.

The women showed up to the Manhattan polling station Tuesday morning and quickly removed their tops to reveal anti-Trump messages painted on their bodies, according to the New York Daily News.

Trump was not at the polling station when the two were arrested, but he did end up casting his ballot there a few hours after the incident.

One of the topless women had "Trump grab your balls" painted on her chest and stomach, while another had the words "Hate out of my polls” written on her body.

A video posted on Twitter shows police and the Secret Service escort the topless women away as they shouted, "Grab your balls! Out of our polls!”

The protest lasted for about 30 seconds, according to the New York Daily News.

Tiffany Robson, 28, from Seattle, and Neda Topaloski, 30, from Montreal were taken to a local police station where they are expected to be issued a summons before their release, the New York Post reported

According to the New York Daily News, Topaloski is affiliated with FEMEN, a feminist group known for staging topless protests around the world.
