Скачать или смотреть 'Ludicrous' protest sparked after video emerges of woman restrained in cosmetics shop

A protest was held outside of Peckham Hair and Cosmetic in south London after a viral video showed a woman accused of theft being restrained by a staff worker.

Police officers were called to the shop just after 1:15 pm local time on Monday following the reports a woman had attempted to steal items and was prevented from leaving by a staff member.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of assault and later bailed pending further enquiries.

The footage of the incident has since gone viral and sparked a protest outside the store on Tuesday amid calls for a boycott.

GB News host Patrick Christys said the protests formed outside of the beauty shop was “ludicrous”.

“What message does this send out - if you see someone come into your shop that happens to be black and is shoplifting are you allowed to detain them or not because you might spark a race riot,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
