Tommy Robinson has tonight been arrested at Luton Airport on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
The 42-year-old was taken into custody by officers after a plane he boarded in Faro, Portugal, landed in Britain.
The arrest is connection with an incident at St Pancras station where a man was allegedly assaulted.
Robinson had gone to Tenerife a day later and was wanted for questioning after video emerged of him walking away from the scene.
A spokesperson for the British Transport Police said: ‘Officers from BTP have tonight (4 August) arrested a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire in connection to an assault at St Pancras station on 28 July.
‘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 29 July 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.’
A video emerged last week of Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, walking away from the scene of an alleged attack at the railway station.
Paramedics rushed to the scene at around 8.40pm on Monday, July 28, and the alleged victim was taken to a major trauma centre with ‘serious injuries’.
The 64-year-old victim – whose head appeared to be covered in the video – was taken to a major trauma centre with ‘serious injuries’ after the ordeal.
He was discharged from hospital last Wednesday, British Transport Police confirmed.
Robinson, the English Defence League founder, had earlier posted footage of himself handing out flyers inside the station for an upcoming ‘free speech’ protest on September 13.
