“Detectives are continuing to work closely to progress the investigation and bring him into custody for questioning.”
Robinson has been active on his X account today, reposting a tweet which claimed he acted in self-defence.
In the footage, a concerned onlooker can be heard saying: “Can we get someone here, quick?”
Robinson can then be heard saying in the video: “You saw him. He came at me bruv, you saw that, he came at me”
BTP said: “Officers were called to St Pancras station just after 8.40pm yesterday 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.”
A medical curtain was pulled up around the top of the escalators to platform B at the station.
Forensics officers were seen scouring the area and taking DNA samples from the handrail.
A witness told LBC: “I saw around eight police vehicles – cars and a van, lined up outside on both sides of the station.
“I saw an unconscious man being worked on by paramedics – they erected curtains around him.
“They were trying to resuscitate him – and there was what looked like a blood transfusion bag.
“The station was still open as normal while the incident was being dealt with.”
Anyone with information or who witnessed what happened can text BTP on 61016, quoting reference 655 of 28 July.
