Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack
Formal charges have been brought against two men following a luggage theft where a suspected irritant spray caused injuries at the major London air hub.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and two counts of administering a noxious substance, authorities have stated.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an attack at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, police said.
A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.
This event – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – led to disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
