A volunteer police officer told a Christian singer that she was ‘not allowed to sing church songs outside of church grounds’ – before sticking her tongue out at her.
Gospel singer Harmonie London, 20, regularly performs worship music to passing shoppers on Oxford Street and has more than 300,000 subscribers on YouTube.
But she was stopped by a Metropolitan Police special constable and told: ‘No miss, you’re not allowed to sing church songs outside of church grounds, by the way.’
As onlookers watched and filmed the confrontation outside the John Lewis store, Harmonie protested her innocence to the officer, saying: ‘You are, you are, you are.’
But the officer continued to insist that she could not sing ‘outside of church grounds unless you have been authorised by the church to do these kind of songs’.
