IN FULL
British anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson says he will not face criminal charges for knocking a man out at London’s St Pancras International railway station. Robinson was arrested on August 4 after returning to the United Kingdom from a short trip abroad. The arrest stemmed from an incident on July 28 involving a physical confrontation with a man who ended up being hospitalized with a head injury.
Video of the aftermath of the incident circulated online, showing Robinson standing over the man, seen lying prone on the ground. In the footage, Robinson is heard telling onlookers, “He come at me, bruv.” He also tells nearby witnesses, “You saw what happened… He come at me.”
Left-leaning journalists accused Robinson of fleeing the country after the incident, though his supporters argued he left for a pre-planned trip and returned voluntarily. Upon his return, Robinson was taken into custody at Luton Airport and questioned on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm (GBH), but later released on bail.
After reviewing surveillance camera footage, taking witness statements, and collecting other evidence, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) reportedly found no realistic prospect of conviction.
Robinson addressed the outcome in a video posted to social media, thanking his supporters and reiterating that he acted in self-defense. “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],” he said.
The 41-year-old has long been a prominent figure in the United Kingdom for his outspoken activism against grooming gangs and the failure of the British authorities to prosecute primarily Muslim, Pakistani-heritage predators. He has himself been prosecuted numerous times, sometimes on highly dubious charges.
