Words were exchanged between the busker - who is believed to be a resident in the Ormskirk hospital Scarisbrick unit - and two members of the PDSA team after the would be troubadour told the 'chuggers' to stop bothering shoppers.
The PCSO arrived promptly to mediate and the busker is believed to have been asked to leave his pitch at the entrance to B&M Bargains.
