British police mate attack on a British citizen.
If the victim decides not to press charges and makes it clear they won't co-operate the CPS would likely decide not to proceed with any prosecution.

On that note has there been any contact with the victim yet about bringing charges against the dweeb? If so, he's fooked.

Doesn't sound like the lad wants to take it further and admits some of the blame, probably out of fear of reprisals from his "supporters".

They could proceed with the CCTV footage, if they had enough supporting evidence around injuries and identity. They wouldn’t need the victim to give live evidence in those circumstances.
 
From the Police UK site - I'd guess that SCY-L has enough people against him to make the report and start the ball rolling

How to report crime anonymously

If you want to report a crime, but you do not want to be identified to the police, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Crimestoppers will ask questions about the crime you have information on but will never ask questions about you. If you are at all concerned your call could be traced, reassure yourself by dialling 141 before 0800 555 111, which blocks your phone number. Or use a phone box – it's free. Because Crimestoppers is an 0800 number, calls are free from a landline and don't show up on a BT or cable phone bill.

Alternatively, you can report a crime anonymously with Crimestoppers

No sure that's the case mate if the police have evidence of assault(which is still a fairly serious offence) they can bring a prosecution and the evidence looks pretty clear to me.

So there doesn't need to be a victim of the assault making a charge for them to be able to bring a prosecution charge against him?

Bye bye Tommy!

If they couldn’t identify the victim they could still charge Robinson with affray. Carries a higher maximum sentence (three years) than common assault (six months) too.

Not if there's evidence of the assault no,mate of mines an inspector one of GMPs finest he confirmed that the video evidence would be enough to see him charged then it's up to the CPS.

Ah, I always assumed there had to also be a victim willing to give evidence and charge that a crime had been committed against them in order for the CPS to be legally allowed to act.

More I presume if the offendee is on bail for a previous conviction, or do they not stack up like that?

He has actually commited battery rather than assault, which is considered a more serious crime.
Though as someone who has experienced similar shithousery one night in the NQ, the police won't persue unless serious injury has happened as it is classed as a low level incident in this period stretched resources.

As you sat the only reason I could see them bother is because they have video evidence and if the victim wishes to go through with a complaint

No. As citizens we don’t “press charges” like they do in TV shows. As others have said it’s all down the Police and CPS

Him going to prison will be another win for him. He’ll bang on about being silenced, made to eat halal in prison, a wider government conspiracy and similar absurd claims. Which will be lapped up by his followers. And of course the obligatory Go Fund Me page to pay for his legal fees and the like
