As two Black women were concluding a recent bike ride through Central Park, they came into a situation with a woman who is now being dubbed the ‘New Central Park Karen.’ When a portable phone charger fell out of one of their bags, the ‘Karen’ picked it up and refused to give it back, insisting the Black women first “prove it was theirs.” She then called the police to make false accusations against them.

One of the women, Tik Toker Alana Lambert, posted a series of videos documenting the event to her profile on May 6.

“The charger slid out of my friend’s bike and she ran to pick it up & refused to give it back until we prove[d] it.”

As the two women surrounded her to get their property back, the ‘Karen’ called the police to claim they were threatening her and surrounding her like they were “going to beat her … or something.”

One of the women asked, “Are you racist or something?” and the ‘Karen’ replied with “Yes I am.”

In the second video below, she can be heard telling fellow park-goers that the two women were threatening to kill her.

In another series of videos, Lambert documents her time reporting the incident at an East Village police precinct. The officer she spoke with indicated there was no real crime to report, even though the woman they dealt with didn’t appear to be a good person and may not have been mentally all there.

Following last year’s incident between Christian Cooper and Amy Cooper, Governor Cuomo did sign into legislation a new law making it illegal to place false or racially fueled 911 reports. However, the officer at the precinct did not seem aware of this.

I just signed into law nation-leading legislation that:

-Ends 50-A
-Bans chokeholds
-Prohibits false race-based 911 calls
-Makes Attorney General the independent prosecutor in killings of unarmed civilians by police

There is more to do & NY will lead the way. pic.twitter.com/i4MUKe37IY
