"Christian Singer Told to Stop by Police Officer in Public Misunderstanding"

A volunteer police officer, identified as Maya Hadzhipetkova, stopped Christian singer Harmonie London on Oxford Street, telling her she was not allowed to sing church songs outside of church grounds. The incident, captured on video, sparked backlash and calls for the officer to be sacked. The officer's actions were criticized for misinterpreting the law and infringing on freedom of religion. The area is regulated for busking, but there are no laws against singing on pavements. The Metropolitan Police is investigating the incident, and the singer's video has garnered significant attention on social media.
