In a statement, the BTP said: "Following a report of an assault at St Pancras station on July 28, detectives quickly launched a full and thorough investigation, which involved a 42-year-old man being arrested on suspicion of GBH at Luton Airport on August 4.

"Officers worked at pace to gather evidence, including CCTV footage and witness statements, however, the victim did not wish to provide a statement to the investigation.

"We presented the prosecution file to the CPS who are responsible for considering the evidence available and deciding whether it meets the legal threshold to charge someone with an offence.

"Following a review of the available evidence, the CPS concluded that there was not a realistic prospect of conviction and therefore there would be no criminal charges in this case."

"Following a careful review of the evidence provided, we have concluded that our legal test for prosecution has not been met.
