Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Incident
Two individuals are now facing charges following a luggage theft where a substance thought to be pepper spray led to people being hurt at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, authorities have stated.
These accusations come after an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was among those injured during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were subsequently released.
This event – which authorities stated was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
