Police have arrested 76 people during two protests held at Westfield shopping centre in west London.
The protests took place inside and outside the centre to call attention to the death of Eric Garner, who died in New York when he was put in a chokehold by a police officer.
Police say the arrests were made after a group of protesters assaulted security staff and damaged property at the Shepherds Bush centre.
The Metropolitan Police said officers used "containment for the purpose of preventing violence and effecting arrests".
"We will always work with those that wish to demonstrate lawfully - as the majority of protesters did yesterday (Wednesday)," Chief Superintendent Mark Bird said.
"However, we will not tolerate the small minority that offer violence or commit other criminal acts, such as that witnessed outside Westfield."
Protests have been ongoing across several US cities since it was announced last week that a grand jury would not indict a white police officer over Mr Garner's death.
London protest organisers wrote on Facebook that the event was being held to denounce "the lack of consequences for Eric Garner's murderer".
