The incident was captured by Darsell Obregon, in the Park Slope neighbourhood, as she was making her way to a subway station.
On her route, the heavens opened up and the nearest possible place to stay dry was the doorway of the apartment belonging to a woman who has since been identified as Arabella Juniper Torres.
According to a Facebook post by Obregon, she was only waiting in the location until an Uber arrived but, while she was waiting, Torres confronted her and demanded that she leave.
She explains that she told Torres that she wasn’t going to leave, who in response decided to report her to the police.
Obregon had not told Torres that she was waiting for an Uber, but even when the car arrives, Torres try’s to prevent the driver from leaving and even gives the licence plate number to the operator on the other end of the phone.
“So you’re sending an officer because now she’s recording me… I asked her to leave and now she’s refusing.”
“If you go anywhere, you’ll be committing a crime as well; you know that, right?”
