Two Charged Over Heathrow Alleged Pepper Spray Assault
Two men have been charged related to a luggage theft where a suspected pepper spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two robbery charges and charges for administering a noxious substance, as confirmed by court officials.
The charges follow an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their luggage stolen after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was one of the people hurt during the incident. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – which authorities stated was isolated and deemed non-terroristic – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a limited duration.
