Far-right activist Tommy Robinson was detained by Metropolitan Police officers following a public disturbance at London Waterloo station on Saturday afternoon. The incident, which drew significant public attention, led to his arrest on suspicion of breaching the peace.
Eyewitnesses reported a growing crowd and heated exchanges at the busy transport hub, prompting police intervention. The Met Police confirmed the arrest, stating their officers responded to reports of a disorder involving a group of individuals.
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was led away by officers as onlookers filmed the incident on their mobile phones. The scene caused temporary disruptions to foot traffic in the station's concourse.
The Metropolitan Police have emphasised their commitment to maintaining public order and ensuring the safety of all Londoners. "Our officers responded to a disturbance and a man was arrested at the scene," a spokesperson for the force stated.
This event is the latest in a series of public appearances by the controversial figure that have resulted in police action. It has once again ignited debate on free speech, public assembly, and the policing of demonstrations in the capital.
The individual was taken to a central London police station for questioning and was later released. An investigation into the full circumstances of the incident is ongoing.
