Far-right activist Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been arrested over an alleged assault at St Pancras Station in London.

In a statement, British Transport Police said: "Officers from BTP have tonight (4 August) arrested a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire in connection to an assault at St Pancras station on 28 July.

"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 29 July 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."

This comes after a video shared on social media showed Robinson walking near a man lying on the ground.

In the video, a voice can be heard saying: "He f****** come at me. He come at me bruv."

British Transport Police said the victim had suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital. He was later released from hospital and gave a statement to the police.
