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.”
