British Transport Police say that Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as ‘Tommy Robinson’, will not be charged following a violent incident as St Pancras railway station on 28th July 2025.

The announcement came after the Crown Prosecution Service concluded “there was no realistic prospect of conviction”.

The victim does not want to pursue charges which left police and the CPS with no alternative other than to drop the case.

“We presented the prosecution file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) – who are responsible for considering the evidence available and deciding whether it meets the legal threshold to charge someone with an offence.

Robinson was arrested on August 4 as he arrived at Luton Airport on an EasyJet flight from Portugal after fleeing to Tenerife immediately after the alleged assault which left the victim unconscious and bleeding on the station concourse.

The far-right activist was led into a police van stationed on the tarmac, surrounded by six cops. He has maintained his innocence throughout, insisting that the police should release all available footage.

His X (Twitter) account carried this post a short time ago: “Breaking news. St Pancras – No case to answer, after police investigated it has been proven I was the victim & I was within the law to defend myself . Why was I arrested at all? You had the footage you knew I was the victim, Metropolitan Police”
