Video Shows Robinson at Scene, Claiming Self-Defence
Footage shared online shows Robinson walking near a man lying motionless on the concourse. In the clip, Robinson appears to shout:
“You saw him. He came at me, bruv, you saw that. He came at me.”
A witness described hearing a loud argument escalate before seeing Robinson allegedly deliver a punch that knocked the man unconscious. The victim was then left bleeding on the floor. Paramedics responded quickly.
Robinson’s Own Response: A Rallying Cry, Not an Apology
Rather than directly addressing the incident, Robinson posted a message on X (formerly Twitter) promoting a protest scheduled for September 13. He wrote:
“September 13th, we don’t just Unite The Kingdom, but the world!… Focus on what our country needs and what its people deserve. Join us in central London as we take a stand against tyranny, we won’t be silenced!”
He also reshared an X user’s post claiming:
“If you approach someone with hostility… expect to get a clip round the ear hole.”
