The woman was the subject of a viral video, in which she calls the police claiming that a black man who asked her to put her dog on a leash was threatening her.
A white woman who called the police on a black man filming her in Central Park appears to have been placed on administrative leave by her employer after video of the exchange went viral on Monday.
Cooper says he asked the woman to put her dog on a leash. He says she replied by saying that the dog runs were closed, and her dog needs the exercise. Cooper says he was about to throw a treat to the dog, when she replied"Don't you touch my dog," and then he started recording video with his iPhone. "I'm sorry, I'm in the Ramble, and there's an man, African American, with a bicycle helmet. He is recording me, and threatening me and my dog," she says, presumably to 911. She repeats herself, and then says, much louder,"I'm sorry I can't hear you. I'm being threatened by a man in The Ramble. Please send the cops immediately."The video quickly went viral on Facebook and on Twitter, when the video was shared by Cooper's sister Melody.
In addition, the Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc. also posted a comment appearing to refer to the subject of the video on Facebook. Abandoned Angels said that the woman voluntarily surrendered the dog.
