Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant spray caused injuries at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
The charges follow an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, authorities reported.
A young child was among those injured during the incident. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.
The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
