Tommy Robinson ‘shouted “come at me” before punching man unconscious’ at St Pancras station as police confirm activist ‘fled UK overnight’

Overview

British Transport Police have launched an urgent manhunt after far-right activist Tommy Robinson allegedly punched a man unconscious during a confrontation at St Pancras International station in London on Monday evening — before fleeing the country just hours later.

A witness told the shared with UKNIP that Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 42, was seen arguing with an older man at the top of an escalator at around 8.40pm.

“I heard Tommy say, ‘Come at me then’ and then bam, he punched the old man so hard that he was knocked out,” the eyewitness claimed. “It seemed very serious as the man wasn’t moving afterward.”

Victim hospitalised with serious injuries

Paramedics from London Ambulance Service rushed to the scene and treated the man, who was found lying face-down and unresponsive on the concourse. He was later taken to a major trauma centre, where his injuries were described as serious but not life-threatening.

Dramatic footage circulating online shows Robinson pacing near the victim as members of the public and station security gathered around. Forensic officers later erected a curtain as they examined the blood-stained area near the escalators to platform B.

 

Robinson fled Britain hours after incident

British Transport Police (BTP) have confirmed that Robinson boarded a flight out of the UK in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

A BTP spokesperson said:

“Following a report of an assault at St Pancras station last night (July 28), officers have confirmed that the suspect, a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire, boarded a flight out of the country in the early hours of this morning. Detectives are continuing to progress the investigation and bring him into custody for questioning.”

Witness claims Robinson shouted self-defence

The witness, who filmed the aftermath of the incident, said Robinson appeared visibly agitated as he walked away, throwing his arms in the air and shouting:

“He f***ing came at me, bruv. You saw that.”

Robinson has since shared posts on social media from an undisclosed location, including one claiming he acted in self-defence. One reposted tweet said:

“A pre-emptive strike is totally legal. To me it looks pretty clear. Tommy Robinson – controversial or not – was going about his business. Someone tried to attack him, and they came off worse.”

Investigation continues

BTP detectives are reviewing CCTV footage from multiple cameras inside the busy terminal and are appealing for witnesses.

Anyone with information is urged to call BTP on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016, quoting reference 655 of 28 July.
