Northern Territory Chief Minister Natasha Fyles has allegedly been physically assaulted by a member of the public at the local markets in her electorate.
NT Police have confirmed they are investigating the incident, which occurred at Nightcliff Markets about 11.40am on Sunday morning.
The markets are located in the same strip of shops as her electorate office for the seat of Nightcliff, which is typically open on Sundays for community engagement.
An eyewitness told the ABC Ms Fyles was standing out the front of the Bendigo Bank, which was holding a 15th anniversary celebration, at the time of the alleged attack.
He said the alleged perpetrator pushed a cream-covered pancake in her face, leaving her visibly shaken, before police were called to the scene.
It follows another incident in May this year in Central Australia, when Ms Fyles was followed and allegedly harassed by anti-fracking protesters while competing in a running competition.
