Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has been arrested in connection with an assault at St Pancras railway station.<\/p>\n
British Transport Police did not name Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, but confirmed a 42-year-old man, from Bedfordshire, was arrested over an assault in London on 28 July.<\/p>\n
The force said the arrest took place at Luton Airport shortly after 18:30 BST on Monday, following a notification that the man had boarded an incoming flight from Faro.<\/p>\n
The man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and will be taken to custody for questioning, police said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The statement added he had been wanted for questioning after leaving for Tenerife in the early hours of 29 July following the incident.<\/p>\n
British Transport Police previously said that they found a man with “serious but non-life-threatening injuries” following the incident at the railway station in Kings Cross.<\/p>\n
The force confirmed on Thursday that he had been discharged from hospital.<\/p>\n
Video footage on social media emerged shortly after the alleged assault showing Robinson walking back and forth near a motionless man lying on the floor, near the stairs down to the northbound Thameslink line. <\/p>\n
The clip did not show how the man ended up on the floor.<\/p>\n
Robinson then starts coming back up the stairs, appearing to try to talk to the passing commuter who called for help.<\/p>\n
Robinson can be heard saying: “He’s come at me bruv.”<\/p>\n
Robinson was contacted by a female BBC reporter for comment after the incident, but Robinson responded with a message that said “slag”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Since the incident, Robinson has continued to post on his personal X account but has not made any comment on the arrest. <\/p>\n
He shared a few supportive posts shortly after British Transport Police released their initial statement on the incident. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
