Two Men Face Charges Over Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault
Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a believed to be pepper spray led to people being hurt at the UK's busiest airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, authorities have stated.
This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two female travelers had their luggage taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, authorities reported.
A young child was caught up in the incident during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were later discharged.
This event – described by police as was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
