Minnesota woman calls police on Black HVAC technician in viral TikTok

Alonzo Harmon claimed the situation started when he went to the client’s house outside Minneapolis to clean the air ducts, immediately sensing something wasn’t right.

The moment a Black HVAC technician alleges a Minnesota woman phoned the police on him and wrongly accused him of threatening her is captured on a viral TikTok video.

Alonzo Harmon posted the video to TikTok on Wednesday. He recorded it on Nov. 29, 2022, turning the camera on himself while standing outside a garage in Golden Valley, Minnesota, as snow falls, according to The Daily Beast.

The video’s caption, which also includes the hashtag #happyblackhistorymonth, reads, “Here’s a sample of what life is like being a black man in America.”

In the recording, Harmon claims to the camera that Elizabeth, a woman inside the garage, was speaking on the phone with 911. The woman tells police that “he says I’m rude, and he just threatened me right now,” ignoring Harmon’s inquiry about the nature of the threat.

The woman begins to sob hysterically in the next scene of the video as Harmon implies that she is fabricating her tears.

“Please, please, please! I’m so scared right now!” the woman says into the phone. “I’m shaking right now! Please, please! … I’m so scared!”
