The ruckus could have disturbed the birds, so he asked the dog’s owner, Amy Cooper, to put him on a leash.
Owners who take their dogs into the area of the park — called The Ramble — where Cooper and the woman were are required to keep them on leashes.
“I’m going to tell them there’s an African American man threatening my life,” Amy Cooper said in a video recorded by Christian Cooper.
Amy Cooper was eventually identified along with her job and the rescue organization where she adopted her dog.
Abandoned Angels Cocker Spaniel Rescue, Inc., the rescue agency, revealed Amy Cooper surrendered her dog.
