A video has emerged appearing to show political activist Tommy Robinson punch a fan to the ground at England’s Nations League match against Holland yesterday.
The video shows the man walking near the Guimaraes Stadium in Portugal after England’s semi-final defeat.
Robinson and his other mates he was with attending the game can be seen chatting to another group, but things quickly became lively.
One of them put their hand around him, asking for a photo, while another spoke to him. Tommy is claimed to be heard shouting ‘who said that?’ before swinging a punch at another man knocking him to the floor.
Someone else says ‘you’ll get knocked out again, bruv’ while other fans shout: ‘Go on, Tommy lad.’
It is also unknown if the incident has been reported to local police.

He uploaded a separate video of himself to social media stating he was going to the match, he told the camera: “I’m in Portugal…at the game, no football banning order here mate.”
This lunchtime, Robinson posted a video, he said: “I was with my wife, that man… has come up to me twice getting rowdy in my face, being abusive, being aggressive.
“You can see his friend has his hand on him and I said to my wife at that point. I said I can see where this is going to go, walk away.
“And I said to the man’s friends keep that man away from me. He comes back up to me again like that… and watch what happens.”

Robinson has faced a 12-month community rehabilitation order and a three-year ban from football by Luton magistrates after leading a brawl with 100 Luton Town supporters clashing with Newport County fans back in 2010.
He did win a court case that prevented the police from imposing a football banning order on him, meaning it would have stopped him from entering Luton for 12 hours on Saturdays when the town’s football club were playing in 2016.
