The Metropolitan Police has said it is investigating after a video was shared online that appeared to show England's chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty being harassed by two men in a park.

The force tweeted: "We are aware of a video being shared online showing an incident in St James's Park. Officers spoke to all those involved at the time and their details were taken.
