A huge crowd formed around a busker in Birmingham city centre today (September 13th) despite the city about to go into a local lockdown on Tuesday due to a spike in Coronavirus cases. <br /><br />The busker challenged people to hang from a bar for 100 seconds at the cost of ten pounds to win one hundred pounds. <br /><br />Crowds kept on gathering with an estimated 100 people at its height, many were not wearing masks and did not socially distance as they tried to get a better view. <br /><br />Gatherings of more than 30 people are currently banned in the UK and on Monday this figure will drop to 6 as the ‘rule of six’ comes into force.<br /><br />At the time of filming, there were no police in the area to disperse the crowds, according to the filmer.
