A source told The Sun Online: 'Caitlyn had an amazing night and when she won her award the room went crazy.
'She'd had such a wonderful time but as she went to leave the whole atmosphere changed.
'Someone shouted to her, "Oi, Bruce, get your d*** out". Then someone else threw something at her. It was horrible.'
A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed that officers had been called to the address on Friday night.
He said: 'Police were called on Friday May 12 at 11.40pm to an awards event in Great Queen Street, WC2, following an allegation of a hate crime.
