FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — A woman called 911 on a child because he allegedly "grabbed her a--" inside a Flatbush bodega, video shows.
Video posted to Facebook Wednesday shows a 53-year-old woman summoning police to Sahara Deli Market on the corner of Albemarle Road and Flatbush Avenue as a mother and her two stunned children watch.
"White lady calling the cops on a black lady, I get it," the woman can be heard saying. "The son grabbed my a--."

An edited version of the video that does not include the woman's personal information was posted to YouTube by Heavy, the publication that initially reported the story.
A little girl can also be heard crying and calling out "Mommy" as a crowd gathers around them.
The video was posted to Facebook by Jason Stovetop Littlejohn at about 10 p.m., hours after he said the incident occurred.

Littlejohn wrote that the boy, who he said was 9-years-old, brushed up against the woman accidentally and that she responded by calling the police.
"Meet Cornerstore Caroline," his post reads. "White Woman calls police on a kid, saying he sexually assaulted her."
Police were unable to locate a record of the 911 call.
Video shows the woman apparently on the phone with emergency responders as a crowd of people try to convince her not to call police on the boy.
"Seriously," a woman asks, "have you ever seen a child before?"
Littlejohn's video has since been viewed by more than 3.5 million people on Facebook. He did not immediately respond to Patch's request for comment.
It is one of several videos documenting 911 calls made against people of color who do not appear to have committed a crime.
A Park Slope woman recently called 911 because another woman sought shelter from the rain underneath an awning and a self-described Trump fan called police because State Senator Jesse Hamilton was passing out campaign fliers.
