A police complaint has not yet been made against Robinson - real name is Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon - and the other man in the altercation has not yet been identified.
Assed Baig, who was given the video, said he was told that 'the other person was not aggressive'.
He said: 'A witness told me that Tommy Robinson threw the first punch after a verbal with the man.' An onlooker described the moment they saw Robinson punch the man at Ascot racecourse.
The witness whose dash cam footage it was said: 'It started by the door of the coach, the first couple of punches by Tommy, that's why you see the other bloke fall in front of the coach. 'But the other bloke was speaking to him and Tommy didn't like what he said. Tommy was telling him to go away, basically f*** off.
'Tommy had clinched his fists was trying to make prove a point. The other person was drunk but not aggressive just talking not shouting. Tommy threw the first punch.'
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?'
Earlier yesterday Robinson shared a video of himself on the coach travelling to Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire. A spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police told MailOnline: 'Thames Valley Police is aware of a video posted online which shows an altercation taking place at Royal Ascot yesterday and officers are investigating the circumstances.
'There has not been a report to police at this stage and no arrests have been made.'

Hopefully this will be the end of him, just a thug and now shown in his true colours, hitting a man when he was on the ground is not defending yourself.

You hold him down if he's that much of a threat, you don't beat him senseless with your mates coming into help, given the way the man attempted to defend himself he looked to drunk to even throw a proper punch, why doesn't it surprise that even when caught red handed you apologise for this thug.

How much provocation does a man have to take when he is out with his missus ? We can expect the police to look at every opportunity to charge him,unlike so many other demonstrations and attacks on Youtube by others.

I think the scariest part of all this is the prospect of dozens of forumites having to think for themselves for a few weeks without tommy's twitter account telling them what to think.

True. The Millwall fan saved lives, but he sounds and looks wrong so will be forgotten. Young Malala Yousafzi got shot in the heed, and has been touring the world as an ambassador ever since.

You know you're scraping the barrel talking about a jail sentence before he's even been convicted.

He was convicted of assaulting an off duty police officer. Given the "battering his spouse" embellishment in your post I would be wary of believing any of your post.

Shrewd, you are one of the few people on the forum who actually talks sense, especially in relation to legislation matters. Apologies if already asked but are you a member of the legal profession ?

Fair play to him, a day out with your other half and someone gave it the bigun in front of his mrs deserved a dig imo. Any man worth anything would do the same.

But the alleged victim exercised his human rights to be drunk and abusive. Not only should Tommy not have hit him, he should have given him 10 grand, put him up in a luxury mansion and allowed him to make love to his wife!
