Two Men Face Charges In Connection With Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Assault
Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a believed to be capsaicin spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.
Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and charges for deploying a toxic agent, according to official statements.
This legal action stems from an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage taken after exiting a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.
A three-year-old girl was caught up in the incident in the event. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were eventually allowed to go home.
This event – which authorities stated was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – caused train delays and the temporary blocking of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
