Far-right activist flies to Spain after video emerges of him at scene of alleged assault at London St Pancras station
The far-right activist Tommy Robinson has arrived in Tenerife as British police seek to question him over an alleged assault after he was filmed close to a man who was left seriously injured on the ground.
Robinson flew to Spain from the UK early on Tuesday. On Monday evening video emerged of him saying “he come at me”, an apparent claim of self-defence, at the scene of the alleged assault in St Pancras station in London as a 64-year-old man lay motionless on the ground.
The injured man was still in hospital on Wednesday in a stable condition. Police are understood to be treating him as a victim, not a suspect, at this stage. Police have said he was admitted to hospital “with serious injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening”.
CCTV from the busy central London station has been recovered and is being studied by detectives.
