Two men have been charged following a luggage theft where a suspected irritant spray resulted in harm at the major London air hub.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and charges for administering a noxious substance, according to official statements.

The charges follow an investigation into an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after getting out of a car park lift, according to law enforcement.

A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were subsequently released.

This event – described by police as was not part of a series and not considered a terror-related act – caused train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a short time.
