Trae Bjorn Tygue Robertson has been jailed following an unprovoked attack using a glass bottle at Kings Cross station in London.

The 28 year old man pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm when he appeared in London Crown Court on the 16th of March and on returning to the court yesterday (24th May) received a three-year and four-month jail sentence.

The attack took place shortly after 12am on the 9th of May 2022 when Robertson followed the victim through the ticket barriers at the King’s Cross Underground station where he was heard to be shouting abuse at the victim.

Robertson continued his verbal assault and was reported as shouting “Come outside” which the victim refused to do, and was narrowly missed by a glass bottle thrown by Robertson, which smashed across the station floor.

A short time later, Robertson removed a second glass bottle from his pocket and this time hit the victim over the head with it.

Reports of the assault led British Transport Police officers to respond and arrested Robertson, taking him into police custody.

The victim was taken to the hospital where two lacerations were found on his head requiring 10 stitches.

BTP Inspector Neil McGrath said: “This was an abhorrent attack during which Robertson subjected the victim to an onslaught of abuse before showing his true colours as a violent individual.”

“There is simply no place on the rail network for offenders who display violence in this way, and I am pleased our investigation has resulted in Robertson spending his immediate future behind bars.”

“If you witness anyone showing aggression towards other passengers or staff on the railway, we want to hear about it. You can report incidents to us by texting 61016 or, in an emergency, calling 999.”
