Far-right
activist Tommy Robinson has been arrested over an alleged assault at St
Pancras’ train station in London.
On
Monday, British Transport Police said: "Officers from BTP have tonight
arrested a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire in connection to an assault at St
Pancras station in London on July 28.
"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 August 29 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."
Footage
emerged last Monday appearing to show the far-right activist, real name Stephen
Yaxley-Lennon, walking away from a man lying injured on the floor at St Pancras
station.
Police
said the man was taken to hospital with “serious” injuries that were not
believed to be life-threatening.
The
far-right activist was originally believed to have boarded a plane to the
Spanish island early last Tuesday, according to local media reports in Spain.
Robinson
co-founded the English Defence League (EDL) in Luton in 2009, which was active
until about 2013.
