"I don't understand why you're walking around this neighborhood w/ a bunch a packages" to black UPS [View all]




The woman has not immediately been identified, but said she lives in the area where the Peters, a seasonal worker, was delivering several postal items.

'I'm going to need someone's information to check up on you, because I don't understand why you're walking around this neighborhood with a bunch a packages,' the woman says at the beginning of the video.



https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7734061/White-woman-calls-police-black-UPS-man-delivering-packages-nervous.html

When Peters expresses that the woman is bothering him, she explains that the man's presence made her 'nervous.'

'I'm not bothering you,' she says. 'I want to complain to UPS that you look very suspicious and making me nervous.'

She then goes on to explain her apprehension, citing past break-ins that occurred in the area.

Peters then proceeds to turn the camera around and show what appears to be a company issued jacket with the official emblem attached.

Later, Peters also shows his work dolly carrying a pile of packages meant to be delivered.

At one point the woman retreats to her home, but reappears to allegedly take pictures of the man and record him.



In a separate clip, the woman says she has called the police as a second UPS worker comes into frame and begins speaking to the woman.

It is unclear what occurs after the video ends.

Since is initial posting, the video has been shared on Twitter and has quickly gone viral.
