TOMMY Robinson has broken his silence after a video emerged of him next to an “unconscious” man in St Pancras Station.
The EDL founder was filmed shouting “you saw him, he came at me” as a man appeared to lay unresponsive and bleeding on the floor at St Pancras Station in London yesterday.

Robinson is believed to have fled the UK on a flight on Tuesday morning, according to the British Transport Police (BTP).
Now, the ex-EDL leader has taken to social media for the first time since the footage emerged with a post about his upcoming march.
In the post on Twitter, formerly X, he did not reference the incident yesterday at St Pancras Station.
Robinson, 42, said on X: “September 13th, we don’t just Unite The Kingdom, but the world!
“Free speech has never been under attack the way it is being now, recently added to this suppression was the “online safety bill”!
“Focus on what is right, focus on what is needed, focus on our country needs and what it’s people deserve.
“Join us in central London as we take a stand against tyranny, we won’t be silenced!”
Robinson also reposted a tweet which read: “If you approach someone with hostility, a man that receives death threats daily, expect to get a clip round the ear hole.”
In a statement today, BTP confirmed that a 42-year-old man had boarded a plane out the country in the early hours of Tuesday.
It read: “Following a report of an assault at St Pancras station last night (28 July), officers have confirmed that the suspect, a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire, boarded a flight out of the country in the early hours of this morning.
“Detectives are continuing to work closely to progress the investigation and bring him into custody for questioning.”
Last night, footage showed Robinson walking down the steps towards the platform while another man can be heard saying “quick, quick, can we get someone here quick” to staff.
Another bystander shouts “Tommy, Tommy” in the background.
Robinson then comes back up the stairs and appears to tell the man “he come at me bruv, you saw that, he come at me” before the clip ends.
Earlier in the day, the EDL founder – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – filmed himself at the station where he was handing out flyers for an upcoming protest.
Cops explained that a man was taken to hospital with “serious injuries”, with an investigation continued overnight.
BTP told The Sun this morning: “Officers were called to St Pancras station just after 8.40pm yesterday (28 July) following reports of an assault.
“Officers attended and a man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which are not thought to be life threatening.
“Overnight the investigation has been ongoing and officers have been making arrest enquiries.”
Photos show forensic officers later at the scene, taking DNA samples from the handrail down to the platform, with blood stains visible just above the stairs.
Robinson is already due to appear in court in October for a hearing after being charged with harassing two journalists.
He has denied two counts of harassment causing fear of violence between August 5 and 7, 2024 and his trial is set for next year.
It is not the first time the right-wing activist has fled the UK.
Last year, Robinson was spotted sunning himself at a five-star hotel in Cyprus while his supporters rioted across the country.
He was snapped relaxing on a sun lounger at the all-inclusive resort in Ayia Napa last August.
And in 2020, the EDL co-founder fled to a posh leisure club in Marbella, Spain, following an alleged arson attack on his home.
He announced the move to his followers in a video filmed at the Manolo Santana Racquets Club.
Robinson claimed he had accepted an offer of a place to stay overseas.
