Tommy Robinson will not be charged over St Pancras incident
Briefly

British Transport Police arrested a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after an incident at St Pancras station on 28 July. Police presented evidence to prosecutors, including footage of the man pacing next to a person lying motionless. The Crown Prosecution Service concluded there was not enough evidence to bring charges. The alleged victim declined to provide a statement. Footage shows the man walking beside a person lying face-down near the stairs to the northbound Thameslink line while a commuter tried to restrain him. The man was arrested at Luton Airport on August 4 and released on bail pending investigations. Robinson posted on X claiming self-defence.
British Transport Police (BTP) said it had presented evidence to prosecutors concerning the incident, which took place on 28 July, including footage of Robinson pacing next to a person lying motionless on the floor. On Wednesday, the force said that the Crown Prosecution Service had concluded there was not enough evidence to bring charges. The alleged victim did not want to provide a statement to the investigation, BTP said.
In the post on X, Robinson, 42, said he had been defending himself, and questioned why had been arrested. In July, BTP said that a man had been found with "serious but non-life-threatening injuries" following an incident at the station, and was later discharged from hospital. In footage posted on social media, Robinson is seen walking next to a person lying face-down near the stairs to the northbound Thameslink line. A commuter appears to be trying to stop him from moving around.
