Footage which purportedly shows Tommy Robinson punching a football fan to the ground has been revealed.
The EDL founder, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was apparently filmed as he watched the Thursday night game against the Netherlands in Portugal.
In the clip, fans gather around Yaxley-Lennon and his entourage, asking for photographs, before he apparently shouts “who said that?” and then appears to throw a punch, before the man falls to the ground.
The group then walks calmly away as a voice is heard saying: “You’ll get knocked out again, bruv.”
Supporters can be heard shouting: “Go on, Tommy lad.”
Yaxley-Lennon recently failed to secure a seat in the European Parliament, polling just 2.2% of the overall vote in the North West as the Brexit Party gained the largest share with 31.2%.
The far-right activist, who is a political adviser to the current Ukip leader Gerrard Batten, came in eighth place with 38,908 votes.
Yaxley-Lennon said he had been unable to fight a fair campaign because he was taken off various social media platforms, stating: “Trump won his campaign on social media. Brexit was won on social media. I’m banned from social media.
“So my ability to fight a fair campaign is gone, orchestrated and organised by the government. I feel like I have been fighting with my hands tied behind my back.”
A video had been uploaded to an unknown social media account earlier which showed Yaxley-Lennon wearing the same jacket as the man believed to be him in the video, being approached by a fan at the airport.
