Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, will not face charges after being arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm following an altercation at St Pancras station in London on July 28. The incident left a man unconscious.
British Transport Police (BTP) investigated the incident, which was captured on video showing Robinson pacing near a man lying face down on the floor. In the footage, Robinson can be heard shouting 'he's come at me' and 'you saw him come at me'. However, it remains unclear how the man ended up unconscious.
Robinson, 42, was arrested at Luton Airport on August 4 upon returning from a holiday in Portugal. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided not to charge him after the alleged victim declined to provide a statement to the investigation.
A BTP spokesperson said: 'Officers worked at pace to gather evidence, including CCTV footage and witness statements; however, the victim did not wish to provide a statement to the investigation. Following a review of the available evidence, the CPS concluded that there was not a realistic prospect of conviction and therefore there would be no criminal charges in this case.'
It is understood that CCTV footage showed the victim initially following Robinson before being hit. Following the CPS announcement, Robinson posted on X: 'Now I can say it, f*** around & find out' and 'No case to answer, after police investigated it has been proven I was the victim and I was within the law to defend myself.'
