Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Assault
Two men have been charged following a luggage theft where a believed to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are accused of two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.
These accusations come after an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their suitcases stolen after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.
The incident – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – caused disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
