COPS have issued an update on their probe into an alleged assault at St Pancras station – which saw Tommy Robinson flee abroad.
In footage shared on Tuesday, the EDL co-founder – whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – was seen standing over a seemingly unresponsive man lying face-down.

A witness has claimed they saw him engaging in an argument with an older man before punching him so hard it apparently knocked him out.
The far-right activist then left the country, and a British tourist claimed he saw a man matching his description on a flight to Tenerife.
Police today confirmed the man injured in the alleged assault on Monday night has been discharged from hospital.
An agitated Robinson had been filmed standing over the man at the busy central London station, shouting “you saw him, he came at me” as the man appeared to lay unresponsive on the floor.
A witness – who had been on the way to catch a train – said he saw Robinson and an older man “facing off and standing very close to each other”.
He had been alerted to the altercation after hearing “a loud commotion and arguing” at the top of an escalator.
The witness claimed that the alleged assault seemed “very serious” as the man “wasn’t moving afterwards”.
Following the alleged assault, Robinson left the country, with one British tourist claiming to have seen him arrive in Spain.
A video posted by a Brit flying to Tenerife showed a man matching Robinson’s description boarding an airport shuttle.
He was wearing white socks and trainers and black shorts, t-shirt and cap, with a tattoo visible on his leg.

A video posted on TikTok captioned: “Spotted Tommy Robinson getting on my flight this morning” also showed the man going through security.
He quickly lifted his cap so that staff could check his face against his passport photo.
While he has yet to directly address the allegations, Robinson has shared a clip from US activist Don Keith – who calls himself a “faithful MAGA” supporter and “patriot” – that claimed there is “more footage that vindicates Tommy”.
In the video, he claimed the injured man was “intoxicated and warned to leave Tommy alone” – and calls him the “aggressor”.
Keith said the man was warned to stay away, but “proceeded to aggressively rush Robinson anyway”, and added that he was “100 per cent in the right defending himself”.
Keith – who says he’s spoken to Robinson – also claimed the former EDL leader had “work obligations” abroad, when explaining why Robinson had left the country.
He emphatically denied that the far-right activist had left the UK as a result of the allegations and footage.
