Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, July 3, 2025

FAR-RIGHT agitator Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, alias Tommy Robinson, was released on police bail today after being arrested on suspicion of a serious assault at London’s St Pancras railway station.

The 42-year-old was detained on suspicion of grievous bodily harm at Luton airport on Monday evening after arriving in Britain on a flight from Faro in Portugal.

He had been wanted for questioning over the incident on July 28 after leaving the country to Tenerife in the early hours of the following day, the British Transport Police said.

The victim was taken to hospital with what police described as serious injuries, and was discharged last Wednesday.

Footage has been shared on social media appearing to show Mr Yaxley-Lennon pacing around the London station with another person lying still on the floor nearby.

The force said that he had been released on police bail until September 2 as inquires into the incident continue.
