Robinson posts picture of injury
Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been arrested following an alleged assault at St Pancras station in London.
Robinson was stopped by five British Transport Police (BTP) officers at Luton airport.
He’d landed moments earlier from Faro in Portugal.
A BTP spokesman said:
“Officers have arrested a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire in connection to an assault at St Pancras station on July 28.
“The arrest took place at Luton airport shortly after 6.30pm, following a notification that the man had boarded an incoming flight from Faro.
“The man had been wanted for questioning after leaving the country to Tenerife in the early hours of July 29 following the incident at St Pancras.
“He was arrested on suspicion of GBH [Grievous Bodily Harm] and will now be taken to custody for questioning.”
Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was wanted for questioning following the incident.
The alleged assault was partly filmed and posted to social media.
It showed a man at the scene looking agitated, while the victim lay on the floor.
In the clip, the man can be heard saying: “He f—— come at me. He come at me bruv.”
As two members of station staff attend to the man, he approaches an apparent witness and said:
“He come at me bruv, you saw that.”
A spokesman BTP said the victim had suffered serious injuries and had been taken to hospital.
He was later released and is understood to have given a statement to police.
