Wall Street Bull painted over by environmental activists — who frantically cleaned it up when cops came

All bull, no bite.

A group of climate activists vandalized the Wall Street Charging Bull with bright green graffiti early Monday — but then swiftly wiped it all down when they spotted cops nearby.

Members of the activist group Extinction Rebellion sprayed the words “Greed = Death,” plus their organization’s symbol, on the iconic bronze statue in a morning rush hour display on Earth Day, photos from the scene show.

But as a handful of cops casually stood by, the easily-spooked vandals scrubbed down the front and sides of the bull, attempting to erase any evidence of the graffiti, video shows.

The NYPD did not immediately have any information on the act of BS vandalism, and it is unclear whether any arrests were made.
