Two men have been charged in connection with a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.
This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after exiting a car park lift, according to law enforcement.
A toddler was caught up in the incident in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and were eventually allowed to go home.
The incident – which authorities stated was a standalone event and not being treated as terrorism – led to disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
