EDL founder Tommy Robinson filmed punching man in head SEVEN times After Being Harassed and Followed

Shocking footage has emerged of former EDL leader Tommy Robinson repeatedly punching a man to the ground at Ascot racecourse.



The right-wing activist was filmed by dash cam footage from a coach which showed him push the man to the ground in a scuffle.



Robinson - wearing a black suit and shirt - throws around seven punches towards the man’s head before three other men step in to separate the pair.



The incident is reported to have happened just after 7pm last night.



It was unclear if Robinson threw the first punch and who the man in the footage was.



Robinson, 34, tweeted a statement on Sunday that he had been acting in 'self defence'.


He said: 'This is regarding an edited video being shared online regarding Tommy.


'Tommy was at the races with his wife. This man followed them both to their coach abusing them.


'Tommy and his wife went to board the coach but the man was not finished he attacked Tommy and dragged tommy (sic) from the coach.


'The man followed, instigated and attacked Tommy when he was with his wife. Tommy acted in self defence.'


After the statement, he then made a number of tweets claiming the 'coach drivers a muslim' and 'Is your witness a Muslim who had already had words with Tommy?'
