A woman was dubbed “Swing Set Susan” after she launched a profanity-laced tirade at a group of Hispanic teens in Texas, all the while pretending to be a police officer and telling them they were too old to be at a park.

Footage shared by one of the teens on Twitter shows the blond woman wearing a blue and white shirt, a pair of athletic shorts, and sneakers as she confronts the group playing on an orange swing set at Fort Worth’s Dream Park around 3:40 pm on Wednesday, the New York Post reports.

“Stop! Stop!” the woman yells at the group. “It’s a children’s park, stop. Stop now.” She proceeds to put her hand on the swing to make it stop, although it is unclear if one of the teens was still on the swing at the time.

However, one of them tells her, “We are children?”  “No, you’re not,” the woman responds. “And if you think you’re a f–ing child, are you over the age [allowed here]?”

Despite the teens' best efforts to convince her they were not, "Susan" continued to lecture them.

“OK, well,” the woman says waving her hands, “I’m a f—ing PD, so get the f–k out of here now if you’re not here to play as a child. Read the f—ing sign.”

Fort Worth police confirmed in a tweet on Thursday that the woman in question was not employed with their department and was “a possible local resident.”

“We are actively investigating this incident for several potential criminal charges including Impersonating a Public Servant and Disorderly Conduct,” the department wrote.

Meanwhile, Fort Worth’s Parks and Recreation Department said in a statement the city's parks and playgrounds were "open to all ages." However, they noted that some playground equipment was meant for either ages 2-5 for preschool children or 5-12 for school-age children.

It is unclear whether the woman has been identified by authorities as her name is yet to be released.

“We were just trying to play,” the teenager tweeted alongside the video. “I guess we’re adults.”
