Police have launched an investigation after a man was left unconscious at a busy London railway station last night.
Paramedics rushed to St Pancras Station, in central London, at around 8.40pm and the man was taken to hospital with ‘serious injuries’.
Footage circulating online shows right-wing activist Tommy Robinson pacing back and forth beside the unresponsive man lying face-down on the floor.
Robinson had earlier posted footage of himself handing out flyers inside the station for an upcoming ‘free speech’ protest on September 13.
He later appeared to be walking in the background as security were called to help the unresponsive man.
As stunned bystanders look on, one Good Samaritan can be heard urgently shouting: ‘Can we get some help over here!’
But Robinson, visibly agitated, throws his arms in the air before turning and walking away down a staircase, repeatedly protesting his innocence. ‘He f***ing came at me, bruv,’ he yells. ‘He come at me bruv, you saw that.’
The British Transport Police (BTP) has since launched an investigation into the alleged assault.

The scuffle comes just hours after Robinson posted a video to his X account, claiming he was in London preparing for what he called ‘the biggest free speech event the world has ever seen.’
A spokesman for BTP told MailOnline: ‘British Transport Police (BTP) 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.’
The scuffle came just hours after Robinson posted a video to his X account, claiming he was in London preparing for what he called ‘the biggest free speech event the world has ever seen.’
In the clip, Robinson said: ‘Today we have walked the route of our event on September 13, where we will be meeting at Waterloo Station.’
He added: ‘Make your plans. We are having a festival of fun, of British identity, of celebration of every single bit of it.’
Despite his history of clashes with the law, Robinson claimed organisers had been ‘working with the police’ and described their approach as ‘very cooperative’, insisting: ‘We have a good relationship with them, we want fun, they are not our enemy.’
Robinson has become a lightning rod for controversy in recent years, often leading far-right rallies and protests across the UK.
He was unable to attend his previous high-profile protest, ‘Unite the Kingdom’, last October after being remanded in custody.
Union Jack-waving crowds gathered in Whitehall at the time, chanting ‘Oh Tommy Tommy’ and ‘We want Starmer out’ while demanding Robinson’s release.
Many demonstrators wore ‘I am Peter Lynch’ badges – a nod to the 61-year-old who died in prison after shouting abuse at riot police outside a hotel housing asylum seekers. Others waved flags reading: ‘RIP Peter Lynch. Political prisoner.’

Videos of Robinson were played out to the crowd, in which he railed against so-called two-tier policing and Ulez charges, as plumes of cannabis smoke drifted through the air.
In October, Robinson was sentenced to 18 months in prison after breaching a High Court injunction from 2021 that barred him from repeating false claims about a Syrian refugee. He admitted 10 breaches of the order.
In May, his sentence was reduced by four months by the High Court. Robinson, who was previously due to be released on July 26, applied to purge his contempt, with his lawyers telling the court he had shown a ‘commitment’ to comply with the order.
The British Transport Police is urging witnesses or anyone with footage of the incident to text 61016 quoting reference 655 of 28 July.
