A woman has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a security guard and an emergency worker, Metropolitan Police said.
The 22-year-old was detained on Wednesday and was also arrested on suspicion of affray, possession of an offensive weapon, and possession of Class B drugs.
A police statement said officers were investigating a “complex” set of circumstances, including a separate incident in which a man entered a home in the Canary Wharf area of London after allegedly being followed by a group of men in the street.
However, police said he had not been charged “as our initial investigation has not identified any offences”.
Footage began circulating on social media of a man accused of entering a house after being told “to go back to the hotel”.
A protest was taking place outside a nearby hotel housing asylum seekers.

A statement from the Met said: “We are aware of videos circulating online relating to an incident that officers were called to at 18:07hrs on Wednesday, 13 August at Marsh Wall, E14.
“We understand a man entered a property through an open door, having been followed by a group of men in the street.
“The man has not been arrested at this time as our initial investigation has not identified any offences – we understand this is distressing for the occupants.
“In a separate incident following this, a 22-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of common assault against a security guard, possession of an offensive weapon, affray, possession of Class B drugs and assault on an emergency worker.
“A section 35 dispersal order was put in place in the vicinity of the area and a 28-year-old man and a 57-year-old woman were arrested for breaching the order.
“This is a complex set of events and we are working hard to investigate and understand what happened, reviewing officers’ body-worn video and any other video footage.”
Another video posted on TikTok shows a group of onlookers questioning the police about why the man had not been arrested.
