Two Men Face Charges Regarding Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Attack
Formal charges have been brought against two men 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, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and charges for using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.
This legal action stems from an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage taken after exiting a car park lift, authorities reported.
A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were subsequently released.
The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and deemed non-terroristic – led to disruptions to rail services and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
