"The far-right activist Tommy Robinson is to face no further action after he was arrested over an alleged assault at St Pancras station in London. British Transport Police (BTP) presented a file of evidence to prosecutors over the incident on 28 July, with footage of Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, pacing around near a man lying face down on the floor, posted on social media."
"On Wednesday, the force said that the Crown Prosecution Service concluded that there was not enough evidence to bring charges. BTP did not name Robinson, but released a statement which said: Following a report of an assault at St Pancras station on 28 July, detectives from BTP quickly launched a full and thorough investigation, which involved a 42-year-old man being arrested on suspicion of GBH at Luton airport on 4 August."

Officers gathered CCTV and witness statements, but the victim declined to provide a statement and reportedly did not want to pursue charges. The Crown Prosecution Service concluded there was not a realistic prospect of conviction, so no criminal charges will be brought.
