Video of a woman attempting to lure an unleashed dog into a busy New York City street, after threatening to call the police on it’s owner, has gone viral on social media.
The video, which was initially posted by u/tefunka on Reddit’s PublicFreakout page, begins with the woman appearing annoyed at the dog’s owners, and complaining to them about not having their dog on a leash.
‘Why are you harassing us?” another woman, who is not shown in the video, asks the woman.
‘Have you never heard of a leash in the city?’ the woman, referred to as ‘Karen,’ responds. ‘We’ll wait for the police to clear it up.’
Video of a woman (pictured) attempting to lure an unleashed dog into a busy New York City street, after threatening to call the police on it’s owner, has gone viral on social media
The woman (pictured) animatedly claps her hands together and attempts to lure the dog, whose is referred to as ‘Boba,’ away from its owners and into the busy street
‘You’re actually instigating a dog to go to the middle of a highway? What kind of problem do you have, lady?’ a second woman asks. ‘You insult someone of Asian descent … Why don’t you go back [to] where you came from? Who are you? Leave people alone’
The man filming the encounter, urges the woman to get her phone out and ‘call the police,’ while trying to get her to repeat what she supposedly told him earlier.
‘Which country should I go back to, Karen? Say it,’ he asks. ‘Cat got your tongue?’
With her arms crossed over her chest, the woman simply looks at the camera and grins.
‘Oh! Cat got my tongue? Really?’ she says. ‘Edit it out.’
Then, the woman animatedly claps her hands together and attempts to lure the dog, whose name is Boba, into the busy street.
‘Come on puppy!’ she yells, but fails in her attempt to lure the dog away from its owners.
‘You’re actually instigating a dog to go to the middle of a highway? What kind of problem do you have, lady?’ a second woman asks. ‘You insult someone of Asian descent … Why don’t you go back [to] where you came from? Who are you? Leave people alone.’
Failing to lure the dog into the street, the woman then approaches a nearby New York Police Department (NYPD) patrol vehicle while as the dog’s owner continues to film her
According to New York City’s Department of Sanitation , a person who owns or controls a dog within a public space, must have it ‘effectively restrained by a leash or chain no more than six feet long’
‘Put it out there,’ the woman being filmed says. ‘Put it out there that you can walk around without your dog on a leash.’
The woman then approaches a nearby New York Police Department (NYPD) patrol vehicle, while the dog’s owner continues to film her.
It’s unclear in the video whether NYPD got involved, or if the issue was resolved.
According to New York City’s Department of Sanitation, a person who owns or controls a dog within a public space, must have it ‘effectively restrained by a leash or chain no more than six feet long.’
Those who violate that rule must pay a fine between $200 and $400.
The video, which has received around 1.1K comments, has garnered some mixed responses.
‘There’s a way to tell someone to put a leash on their dog. This isn’t it,’ one user commented.
‘Especially dogs like this who aren’t trained, at minimum if it’s not on a leash it should not be so untrained as to follow a stranger into the street. Really no reason not to keep it on a leash though,’ another wrote.
The NYPD did not return Dailymail.com’s request for comment.
