Hi , 


You can use the new Chatter API in Apex to do this. It's in developer preview currently and is on by default in all Developer Edition orgs. 

Here's an example of how to use it:

String communityId = null;
String feedItemId = 'YOUR_FEEDITEM_ID';

ConnectApi.FeedItem feedItem = ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.getFeedItem(communityId, feedItemId);
List<ConnectApi.MessageSegment> messageSegments = feedItem.body.messageSegments;
for (ConnectApi.MessageSegment messageSegment : messageSegments) {
    if (messageSegment instanceof ConnectApi.MentionSegment) {
        ConnectApi.MentionSegment mentionSegment = (ConnectApi.MentionSegment) messageSegment;
        System.debug('Mentioned user name: ' + mentionSegment.name);
        System.debug('Mentioned user id: ' + mentionSegment.user.id);
    }
}


Regards,
