Tommy Robinson bailed after arrest over alleged assault at railway station

Tommy Robinson has been released on bail after being arrested over an alleged assault at St Pancras station on 28 July.

The 42-year-old right-wing activist was arrested at Luton Airport on Monday evening in connection with the incident.

Footage on social media appeared to show Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, walking back and forth next to a man lying motionless on the ground.

British Transport Police (BTP) said on Tuesday that he has been released on police bail until 8 September as inquiries continue.

He was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and taken into custody after arriving in the UK on a flight from Faro in Portugal.
