Northern Territory Chief Minister Natasha Fyles has been left shaken after a cream-covered crepe was pushed into her face at a market in Darwin.

Police are investigating the incident which took place about 11.40am on Sunday at Nightcliff Markets.

Footage shared by Nine News on social media showed a woman rushing towards Ms Fyles and shoving what was described as a whipped cream crepe into her face.

A spokeswoman for Ms Fyles said the chief minister would not be making any immediate comment.

The markets are near the chief minister’s electorate office for the seat of Nightcliff.

Ms Fyles, 45, was left distressed after being confronted by anti-fracking protesters while taking part in a trail running event in May.
