The moment an Edinburgh street performer was heckled was caught in a clip, as a man claimed she was 'from a middle-class family'.
The strange incident was shared online by dancer Lucia Leeson, where a man claimed she was a 'street dancer who has never worked on the street'. He also shouted: "It doesn't look as good off the camera."
Lucia shared the incident on TikTok, which shows the individual kneeling behind her as she attempts to perform in The Grassmarket.
In the bizarre clip, the man shouts: "Look everybody, a street dancer who never worked on the street is from a middle-class family.
"Well done. Well done you. It doesn't look as good off the camera unfortunately, I know what you're used to - performing for YouTube."

However, he seemed to be alone in his beliefs. One of Lucia's followers posted: "You were such a pro! Despite the hiccups."
Another added: "Why are some people so angry?"
A third commented: "No way he would have done that to another man."
