Bodega ‘butt grab’ that didn’t happen NEW 911 'LOON' RANT
You know “Barbecue Becky” and “Permit Patty” — now meet “Corner Store Caroline.”
A wild viral video captured a white Brooklyn woman calling the cops on a 9-year-old black boy who she claimed grabbed her butt in a bodega — but surveillance footage proves the kid never laid a hand on her.
“I want the cops here right now!” Teresa Sue Klein, 53, can be heard telling 911 in the cellphone clip taken Wednesday outside the Sahara Deli in Flatbush.
“The son grabbed my ass, and she decided to yell at me,” she rants, referring to the boy’s mom.
The kid is seen wailing outside the store as the crowd tries to comfort him and comes to his defense.
“Nobody wants to touch your flat ass,” one woman sneers at Klein.
Another onlooker brands Klein “Corner Store Caroline” — à la monikers from other viral videos in which white women call the police on African-Americans over minor incidents.
Security footage from the bodega shows the boy wearing a backpack and holding a large plastic bag from Cookie’s department store as he passes Klein while exiting the deli, and his pack appears to brush against her.
“He was walking out with his mom and accidentally brushed up against her. His mother was right behind him,” a deli worker told The Post.
But when a Post reporter visited Klein at her nearby home to show her the footage Friday, she called the cops again.
Neighbors said it was a common occurrence.
“People moved out of the building because of her. She’s terrorizing the building,” said Hazel Freeman, 52, a pastor who lives above Klein. “She would call me up and tell me my son is smoking weed in the hallway. He’s married, and he lives in Canarsie.”
After the officers arrived outside Klein’s home, she eventually came downstairs to speak to The Post — while her own neighbors stood around heckling her with calls of “Shame on you, Caroline!” and “You’re racist!”
The self-described unemployed “feminist and a humanist” variously insisted she was groped in the bodega and acknowledged the boy had only touched her accidentally.
She also accused his mom of pretending to be a cop, then leaving a threatening message for her.
“I would like to apologize to her daughter and her son but not to her. She could have walked away, but she didn’t. I’m also a Buddhist, [but] I let my temper show,” Klein said.
“I’ve been called racist before, and I’m not.”
But neighbors claimed Klein has written “racial slurs” in chalk outside the building.
“I have no idea what they’re talking about,” she told The Post.
