Moment stranger hurls brick at busker while he's performing on street
A busker claims to have been confronted by a complete stranger while he played on the streets who he says “threw a brick” at him.
Singer Osaze Aigbe, 25, was performing at the junction of Union Street and High Street in Birmingham on May 18 when the incident happened.
Video showed a hooded man approaching Osaze, pulling his chair and threatening him with it.
Two police officers then arrived to calm the situation, allowing Osaze to continue his performance.
But moments later, the stranger returns and allegedly throws a brick at Osaze, forcing him to get up and grab his chair to defend himself.

"The very weird part is I’ve never met this man before.
"I thought I was in danger and I prayed that God would save me because I’m not a fighter.
"After he missed the first time, he picked the brick up again to try and hit me.
"I was scared as well as confused because I could never imagine something like that would ever happen to me."
