Shocking footage captured the moment a brazen couple appeared to have sex in a busy New York City park while children played around them. 

The video, taken at Manhattan's Battery Park, shows the raunchy pair allegedly getting intimate underneath a blanket in broad daylight. 

Outraged viewers of a TikTok that reached more than 50 million views slammed the couple, with some calling for them to face public indecency charges. 

Separate footage indicated they were able to continue the alleged public romp for hours, with the blanket still barely covering their supposed act while the sun was setting.

Viewers were outraged at the alleged public romp, particularly as children played in the park around them 

The couple have not been identified, with X users also producing images reported to be the alleged perpetrators amid calls for them to face accountability 

Viewers of the videos were stunned at the alleged audacious behavior, and questioned why nobody called the police to bring it to an end. 

Two children are seen riding scooters close to the pair, while parents played catch and sat for picnics seemingly unaware of the couple's stunt. 

'Only in New York,' captioned one of the TikToks. 'Trying to enjoy a beautiful Sunday afternoon in NYC...' 

'No bc how do you actually get away with this in NYC,' captioned the later sunset video. 

As viewers questioned, 'what happened to shame?', the couple also emerged from under the blanket with a sheepish look during the midday romp. 

In New York City, public sex carried a class B misdemeanor charge of public lewdness, and can lead to up to three months behind bars.

Viewers questioned why the cops were not called on the couple 

One tweeted: '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****** gross.'  

As the video went viral, the pair were quickly branded the 'blanket couple' on social media. 

'Me wondering why everyone is talking about the blanket couple until I found this?! BY CHILDREN? OUTSIDE? IN DAYLIGHT??' another viewer commented. 

Another questioned: 'How did no one call the cops?'
