The new Central Park Karen? Cyclist who found two black women's phone charger on the ground refuses to give it back and calls 911 to claim they're beating her
The incident unfolded when Alana Lambert and her friend were vlogging a day out in Central Park, New York City
Lambert said her portable charger fell from her friend's bike and the woman picked it up and wouldn't give it back until they proved it was theirs
Footage shows the 'Karen' telling a 911 dispatcher the two black women were 'touching', 'threatening' and 'beating' her
------------------
'Do not discuss with me. Do not discuss with me,' says the 'Karen.'
'Girl if you go viral trying to be stupid that's on you,' Lambert tells her.
At this point, the 'Karen' approaches a group of horse-mounted New York City police who are riding through the park.
She tells the cops the two black women have been 'threatening' and 'beating' her.
'These two people are coming and threatening me and beating me that this is theirs,' she tells the cops.
'I'm not going to give it to them unless they can prove it is theirs.'
An officer asks what it is to which Lambert explains it is her portable phone charger.
'It's a portable charger. I was riding my bike and my portable charger fell and I turned around and she grabbed it and ran away with it,' she says.
'She said we were trying to beat her and called 911.'

In part 6, Lambert explains that they did receive her charger back. However, in the text overlay of the video, she revealed that one of the officers believed the charger belonged to Lambert but said that he is going to wait until (the woman) calms down and walks away before giving it back to her.
