The Met Police have apologised for causing offence after a volunteer officer told a Christian singer to 'stop performing church songs outside church grounds'.
The force said the officer should not have told gospel singer Harmonie London, 20, that she was not allowed to sing church songs outside of church grounds - and she says she felt 'humiliated', 'sad' and 'bullied' following the confrontation.
Volunteer officer Maya Hadzhipetkova was accused of breaking the musician's human right to freedom of expression and religion today after she threatened to take away her instruments following a performance of Amazing Grace.
The Met has since clarified that the supposed breach was due to unlicensed busking rather than the content of the songs she was singing.
But they added: 'The officer was mistaken in saying church songs cannot be sung outside of church grounds. We’re sorry for the offence caused and will take the learning forward.'
TalkTV's The Talk panel discuss the priorities of the police and why they're acting 'over-zealously' with singers in the streets rather than focusing on gun or knife crime.
