A Cristiano Ronaldo superfan was arrested after being caught spray-painting a famous monument with her love for the footy star.
The kimono-wearing tagger was confronted by uniformed officers after being caught, quite literally, red-handed.
They lead her into the back seat of a police car as bemused onlookers watch the strange scenes unfold.

A clip shows how she vandalised the iconic “Hand” sculpture in Punta del Este, Uruguay, with red and orange spray paint.
Since its completion in 1982, “The Hand” has become one of Uruguay’s most recognisable landmarks.
It has been covered in graffiti before, but the latest daubing is particularly eyebrow-raising.
Bizarrely, the suspect chose to spray “CR7 te amo”, along with some hearts, on the monument’s “fingers”.
The declaration translates to: “I love you, CR7.”
Punta del Este mayor Javier Carballal revealed that it would cost 170,000 UYU (£3,162) to restore the sculpture.
A tourist from Montevideo, who chose to remain anonymous, told local media: “Awful, it’s unbelievable.
“To vandalise ‘The Hand’ like this, an icon and symbol of Punta del Este.
“For us Uruguayans, it’s something deeply meaningful.
“It’s an incredible show of disrespect.”
The graffiti was painted over by the local authorities on Monday (20 Jan), as reported by Need To Know.
