TikTok shock over video of 'blanket couple' caught 'having sex' in crowded park in broad daylight

  • 03/05/2024

A New York couple's brazen behaviour in a crowded park has shocked the internet. 

A viral video of the 'crazy' pair appearing to have sex under a blanket in broad daylight has prompted concern, chuckles and calls for their arrest. 

The suspicious movements beneath the blanket occur in a grass field in Battery Park, just metres from where a man is throwing a football with a child. 

In another video of the event, children are seen riding past on scooters. 

A video of it has racked up almost 54 million views on TikTok. 

"This is beyond horrific," wrote one TikTok user. 

"Do they not have any self-respect," said another. 

Others questioned where the police were and called for their arrest.

"I want to see those blanket people in NYC be hit with sex offender charges for having sex in front of children I am so serious. Our society is so f**king gross," wrote one person. 

According to the New York Post, public sex is illegal in New York City and if law enforcement had taken an interest, the pair could've faced a "public lewdness" charges. 

But for one TikTok user, it was the blanket, rather than the act, that was the biggest concern. 

"They picked the clingiest blanket in NYC to hide under. Good grief," they wrote.
