A SHOCKED witness has revealed what they saw Tommy Robinson do just moments before he was filmed standing over an “unconscious” man at a train station.
The far-right activist, 42, is feared to have fled the country amid an investigation into an in .
A witness has claimed they saw Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, engaging in an argument with an older man before punching him so hard it knocked him out.
The EDL co-founder was filmed standing over an unresponsive man lying face-down on the station concourse on Monday night.
In a statement, (BTP) said that a 42-year-old man had boarded a plane out of the country in the early hours of Tuesday.
The witness who filmed the altercation’s aftermath told MailOnline how the far-right activist allegedly shouted at the older man to “come at me then” before he “punched the old man so hard he was knocked out”.
He had been on the way to catch a train when he “heard a loud commotion and arguing” at the top of the escalator.
He said that as he approached the top, he saw Robinson and an older man “facing off and standing very close to each other”.
The witness claimed that the alleged assault seemed “very serious” as the man “wasn’t moving afterwards”.
Since the footage emerged, from a user which read: “If you approach someone with hostility, a man that receives death threats daily, expect to get a clip round the ear hole.”
He also reposted a video from a US activist which claims there was “100 per cent more video footage that vindicates Tommy” - and says the other man who was injured in the station was “intoxicated and warned 5 times to leave Tommy alone before proceeding to aggressively rush him”.
Footage of the incident has been widely circulated on social media, showing Robinson shouting “you saw him, he came at me”as a man appeared to lay unresponsive and bleeding on the floor.
The agitated political activist could then be seen leaving down a staircase while another man can be heard saying “quick, quick, can we get someone here quick” to staff.
Another bystander is heard shouting “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.
Police said that a man was taken to hospital with “serious injuries” although they were not believed to be life-threatening.
Earlier on Monday, the former EDL leader had filmed himself at the station where he was handing out flyers for an upcoming protest.
