British Transport Police have confirmed that far-right activist Tommy Robinson will not face charges over an alleged assault at St Pancras station in London.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) concluded there was no realistic prospect of conviction after the alleged victim chose not to provide a statement.
“Following a report of an assault at St Pancras station on 28 July, detectives from BTP quickly launched a full and thorough investigation, which involved a 42-year-old man being arrested on suspicion of GBH at Luton airport on 4 August,” a BTP spokesperson said.
Police said officers gathered CCTV evidence and witness statements, but the absence of cooperation from the alleged victim meant prosecutors were unable to proceed.
“We presented the prosecution file to the Crown Prosecution Service, who are responsible for considering the evidence available and deciding whether it meets the legal threshold to charge someone with an offence,” BTP said.
The CPS confirmed that, following review, the case did not meet the criteria for charges.
The incident at St Pancras station in July led to Robinson’s arrest days later at Luton Airport. He was questioned on suspicion of grievous bodily harm but released under investigation before the CPS decision was announced.
