"We have permission to be here, but this policeman is shutting it down," Sheeran can be heard telling the crowd in videos posted online. "See you later."

British singer Ed Sheeran, currently in Bengaluru for his Mathematics (+-=x) Tour, broke into an impromptu performance on Church Street on Sunday morning but was stopped by the Bengaluru police. Sheeran was singing his popular hit 'Shape of You', but before he could complete it, the Bengaluru Police arrived at the scene to pull the plug, literally.

While in the middle of singing "Shape of You," a police officer unplugged Sheeran's microphone, resulting in shocked reactions from the crowd.
