British political activist Tommy Robinson has been arrested in connection with an alleged assault at St Pancras station last week.
The 42-year-old, far-right activist was arrested at Luton airport after landing on a flight from Faro in Portugal.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: “Officers from BTP have arrested a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire in connection to an assault at St Pancras station on July 28.
“The arrest took place at Luton airport shortly after 6.30pm, following a notification that the man had boarded an incoming flight from Faro.
“The man had been wanted for questioning after leaving the country to Tenerife in the early hours of [July] 29 following the incident at St Pancras.
“He was arrested on suspicion of GBH [grievous bodily harm] and will now be taken to custody for questioning.”
Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was wanted for questioning following the incident, which was partly filmed and posted to social media.
