Tommy Robinson will not face charges after alleged assault at train station

Activist Tommy Robinson is to face no further action after he was arrested over an alleged assault at St Pancras station in London.

British Transport Police (BTP) presented a file of evidence to prosecutors over the incident on July 28, with footage of Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, pacing around near a man lying face down on the floor, posted on social media.

On Wednesday, the force said that the Crown Prosecution Service concluded that there was not enough evidence to bring charges.

BTP did not name Robinson, but released a statement which said: "Following a report of an assault at St Pancras station on July 28, detectives from BTP quickly launched a full and thorough investigation, which involved a 42-year-old man being arrested on suspicion of GBH at Luton Airport on August 4.

"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.

"We presented the prosecution file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) - who are responsible for considering the evidence available and deciding whether it meets the legal threshold to charge someone with an offence.

"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 the victim does not want to pursue charges, and that CCTV footage showed him initially following Robinson as the activist walked away, before he was hit.

Robinson said in an entry on X that he had been defending himself, and questioned why he had been arrested.
