Tommy Robinson ‘Shouted “Come at Me” Before Knocking Man Out Cold’ at St Pancras – Then Fled UK Overnight
Far-Right Activist’s Punch Sparks Manhunt
British Transport Police have launched an urgent hunt for far-right activist Tommy Robinson after he allegedly punched a man unconscious at St Pancras International station in London on Monday night. Just hours later, Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, 42, fled the UK. A witness at the scene told UKNIP:
“I heard Tommy say, ‘Come at me then’ and then bam, he punched the old man so hard that he was knocked out. It seemed very serious as the man wasn’t moving afterward.”
Victim Hospitalised With Serious Injuries
Emergency crews from 1 Ambulance Service rushed the victim, found face-down and unresponsive on the concourse, to a major trauma centre. Police confirmed the man suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries. Dramatic footage shows Robinson pacing near the unconscious victim as concerned passengers and station security gathered. Forensic teams set up a curtain to comb the blood-stained scene near the escalators to platform B.
Robinson Jets Out of UK Hours After Attack
British Transport Police confirmed 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.”
Robinson Claims Self-Defence
The same witness captured Robinson shouting as he left the station, clearly agitated:
“He f***ing came at me, bruv. You saw that.”
Robinson later posted online from an undisclosed location insisting he acted in self-defence. One reposted tweet read:
“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 Ongoing – Police Seek Witnesses
BTP detectives are reviewing CCTV from across the busy terminal and urge anyone with info to come forward. Contact British Transport Police on 0800 40 50 40 or text 61016 quoting reference 655 of 28 July.
