Police are investigating video footage which appears to show England's chief medical officer, Prof Chris Whitty, being accosted by two men in a park.
The Met Police said it happened in St James's Park in London on Sunday and all those involved had been spoken to.
The video shows two men laughing and jeering as they grab hold of Prof Whitty, who struggles to free himself.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said it was "appalling" to see Prof Whitty being "harassed".
He added: "The CMO (chief medical officer) works tirelessly on behalf of the country. We will not tolerate this sort of behaviour towards our public servants.
"The men behaving in this disgraceful way should be ashamed."
Labour MP Jess Philips tweeted: "Even if you perceive it as non-violent it is clear that he felt awful and uncomfortable and resisted.
"Public figures are not dolls, they are human beings, it is stunning how easily this is forgotten."
It is not the first time Prof Whitty has been filmed being confronted by a member of the public.
Earlier this month, a man in Oxford accused him of lying to the public about coronavirus, while in February a man accosted the chief medical officer outside Westminster.

Did the police use “harsh words” against the perps?
But they aren't. I wonder why...
They were probably looking for a blow job. Either as the giver or receiver.
I beg to disagree with that. They may look human but they are actually from Mars. Mars sent all their ferals here disguised as medical humans.
