A 42-year-old man has left the country after a video emerged which appeared to show Tommy Robinson walking away from the scene of an alleged assault at St Pancras station in London.
The suspect, from Bedfordshire, boarded a flight out of the UK in the early hours of Tuesday morning, after the incident took place at around 8.40pm on Monday evening, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
Footage shared on social media appeared to show Tommy Robinson – whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – pacing around the station with another person lying still on the floor nearby.
The man, thought to be Robinson, could be heard saying: “He come at me” in the footage as he walked down a flight of stairs.
On Tuesday, Robinson, 42, reposted a statement on his own X profile.
“If you cross a line and attack someone physically, or threaten to attack them physically… a pre-emptive strike is totally legal,” it read.
“Detectives are continuing to work closely to progress the investigation and bring the man into custody for questioning,” a spokesperson for British Transport Police said.
Paramedics transported a man to a major trauma centre on Monday. Police say he had sustained serious but non life-threatening injuries.
