0:39Now PlayingHong Kong's Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng was heckled by a crowd in London on Thursday before she was scheduled to deliver a lecture at the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIAB).
Her speech was cancelled after she reportedly sustained a minor injury to her arm.
The CIAB said she was "assaulted" and injured as a result.
Protesters, some dressed in black, heckled her and called her a "murderer."
Police said they were investigating an allegation of assault in Bury Place in Camden at around 1705 on Thursday.
Police said a woman was taken to hospital by London Ambulance Service suffering an injury to her arm, adding there had been no arrests at this stage.
Cheng is part of the Hong Kong government's Cabinet which is under criticism for escalating violence during ongoing protests in the semi-autonomous city.
The movement began in June over a now-withdrawn extradition bill that would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent to mainland China for trial.
Activists saw it as another sign of an erosion of Hong Kong's autonomy and freedoms, which China promised would be maintained for 50 years under a "one nation, two systems" principle when the former British colony returned to Chinese control in 1997.
