Hundreds of people gathered at the shop spouting anti-Asian sentiments



A 31-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault on Tuesday and later
released on bail.

People in Peckham were asked to remain calm after the video was circulated on
social media.

Speaking to the BBC after Monday's incident but before Tuesday afternoon's
protest, the poor shopkeeper said the woman had become aggressive when she
was refused a refund on products she had previously bought at the store.



"We do not give refunds, we exchange items or give a credit note. So she
grabbed some stuff [three packs of hair with a total value of £24] from the shelf and tried to leave. She was leaving and I was stopping her.


"I was stopping her. She slapped me in the face and grabbed a shopping
basket and hit me on the head. I don't know when my hand goes around her neck. I was keeping her neutralised. I did not hit her.

"The video was cropped. People are acting at the half truth".
