In a Jan. 19 confrontation at London St. Pancras International railway station, a Chinese film crew clashed with British pianist Brendan Kavanagh in an incident that quickly went viral on social media and drew widespread media attention.
The dispute unfolded as Mr. Kavanagh played a public piano and live-streamed at the station. The Chinese group, wearing red scarves and carrying flags of the People’s Republic of China, warmly greeted the pianist at first, but soon requested not to be filmed, citing concerns about the infringement of their image rights. The request sparked a heated argument that escalated to the point where British police intervened.
