"Somebody call the police!"

A police officer on duty at London's Notting Hill Carnival wowed the crowd with his incredible dance moves, earning himself the nickname "undercover raver."

Twinkle-toed police officer PC Dan Graham clearly couldn't resist joining in the fun and decided to crack out some of his expert dance moves. His moves were caught on camera by Twitter user @phemmynice.

"We got a policeman over there with some moves," announced a DJ who witnessed the modern-day Fred Astaire in action.

Another police officer also captured PC Graham dancing to his heart's content at the carnival.

It seems onlookers at the carnival aren't the only ones impressed by PC Graham's dance moves. He was a semi-finalist on British talent show Britain's Got Talent. And, he showcases his impressive talents on his Instagram page.

The police officer teases the crowd at first with a momentary spot of dancing, but after playing it cool for just a few moments, he gives in and wows the crowd with his footwork.

"You must be an undercover raver. Make some noise for the undercover raver!" yelled the DJ.

"Somebody call the police," he added.
