Watch the moment a police officer tells a group of Christians to stop preaching the gospel outside King’s Cross station, London.
A small part of the bizarre exchange is captured on camera where the officer is heard telling one of the preachers “I just think it’s all wrong”.
She then walks away, giving the young preacher little chance to formulate a response.
Despite the confrontation, she says “God bless you” as the officer strolls away.
The group were left staggered

“These people just want to do their journey. They’re not coming here to listen to you.”

The two officers were standing in one of London’s busiest spots with two major transport hubs in close vicinity.
London King’s Cross and St Pancras international gets a combined traffic of almost 60,000,000 every year and the Mad 4 Jesus Ministries team were keen to get their point across.

Mon B, the group’s leading preacher, claimed her team were told they could not stand in front of the barriers before the officer gave them their marching orders.
She said her colleague was more sympathetic and even joined them for prayer shortly after the events of the controversial clip.
The shocking ordeal is not the first time police have had run-ins with preachers in recent years.
Last year a grovelling apology was issued after Christian singer Harmonie London was told to stop performing church songs outside church grounds.
Speaking to Jacob Rees-Mogg last year on the People’s Channel, London said the experience was “humiliating” and could not understand the police’s heavy-handed nature.
“I’m not busking, I was sharing the gospel. It’s completely in my human rights”, she said.
“Throughout the Bible, you’re encouraged to sing God’s praises. I’m not forcing anyone to listen.
“I just go out there to sing. If people want to listen, believers or non-believers, they are more than welcome.”
In January last year, the Met Police apologised for any offence caused and said the officer should not have told the 20-year-old where she can and cannot sing church songs.
A month later, shocking viral footage showed a Christian preacher being threatened with arrest for singing religious songs.
He was accused of a hate crime by a member of the public who reported the incident to the police about alleged homophobic comments.
The video showed two separate officers threatening to arrest the preacher as he asks for some sort of clarification regarding the situation.
The British Transport Police has been contacted for comment.
