Drinkers in a Glasgow bar were left stunned last night after an on duty policeman had an impromptu stint on the karaoke.

Punters at the Waterloo Bar on Argyle Street were treated to a performance by an officer identified only as "Sergeant Jon" who had been attending an incident at the pub.

Peter McKenna-Boyd was in the bar and filmed the performance live on Facebook.

Here is the officer's rendition of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive".

Chief Inspector Mark Sutherland Area Commander for Glasgow City Centre said:

"Around 19.10 hours on Wednesday evening, officers were called following an alleged assault within the Waterloo Bar on Argyle Street in Glasgow city centre. A full and thorough investigation led to the arrest of a 23 year old male who is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on 2nd June 2016."

"Once the enquiry had concluded and the victim's safety ensured, Sgt Jon Harris from our city centre Community Policing Team was encouraged to participate in karaoke ongoing in the pub. 'Sgt Jon' took to the stage which helped to defuse any simmering tensions in the pub.

"I was pleased to see that once the incident had been professionally concluded, my officers were able to share a lighter moment with those who remained in the pub."
