Police have launched a hate crime investigation in central London after Caitlyn Jenner was allegedly verbally abused by a photographer.

The reality TV star was leaving the British LGBT awards on Friday night where it's claimed transphobic comments were shouted at her.

She was a guest at the ceremony, where she received a Loud and Proud trophy following her transition from Bruce Jenner in 2015.

Police say the investigation is ongoing and at this stage no arrests have been made.
