‘British Karen’ wields pipe during altercation with neighbor

A British woman armed with a metal pipe tried to open the door of a Royal Mail van when a man approached her and demanded she back off, video shows.

The 48-second clip, posted Wednesday on Reddit, shows a woman dubbed “British Karen” casually strolling around a Royal Mail van while holding a large metal pipe before a man walks up behind her and asks what’s going on.

“What are you doing? What are you doing that for?” the man asks, appearing to startle the woman. “Why are you doing that? You’ve attacked my son’s car three times. You pulled a sticker off it.”

The apparent neighborhood watchwoman then approaches the man while clanking the pipe on asphalt, video shows.

“Are you quite legal, to park over somebody’s drive?” the woman asks.

The man then starts to ask if the van was indeed blocking her driveway before telling the woman to keep her distance, citing the coronavirus pandemic.

“Don’t get too close please, because I don’t want to breathe the same air as you,” he says.

“Well you are, unfortunately,” the woman replies.

The man proceeds to tell the woman to “back off,” further enraging her, the clip shows.

“You back off,” the woman yells, now walking toward the man, whom she accused of being a “bully” and thief.

“You stop vandalizing my f–king son’s car,” he replies.

“You like stealing from your workplace,” she continues. “You’re a criminal.”

Pressed by the man on what law he allegedly broke, the woman said: “Well for one, you’re using your phone, aren’t you?”

“Well it’s good evidence, innit?” the man replies.

A second clip purportedly taken before the interaction shows the woman answering her door when the man accuses her of ripping what appeared to be a windshield wiper off the Royal Mail van.

“Why is it in your bin?” the man asks, referring to her trash can.

“I’m so sorry,” the woman says before grabbing the wiper and asking if the vehicle belonged to the man’s son.

“Yes it is,” the man says before the woman grabs the wiper and says she’s “the police,” the second clip shows.

“This is the police,” she says while shutting her door. “We are the police.”

A message seeking comment from Royal Mail reps was not immediately returned Wednesday.
