People in Peckham have been asked to remain calm after a video was circulated of a woman being restrained by a male shopkeeper.
Hundreds of people gathered outside Peckham Hair and Cosmetics in Rye Lane, where the woman was accused of theft.
Chants of "you touch one, you touch all" could be heard and signs saying "keep your hands off black women" were held by some protesters.
Police said a woman had been arrested on suspicion of assault and bailed.
Footage of the incident, which has been viewed more than a million times, appears to show a woman inside the shop being grabbed by a much larger man.
The woman struggles and hits the man with a shopping basket, which breaks. The man then holds her by her arms and neck.
The incident happened on Monday and the organised protest was held on Tuesday.
The Metropolitan Police and the London mayor have both said they understand why Londoners might be concerned about the footage, but urged people to remain calm.
The Met said an investigation into "the full circumstances" of the incident would take place.
