Two charged over Heathrow 'pepper spray' attack

Two men have been charged in connection with a suitcase robbery where what is thought to be pepper 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 administering a noxious substance, HM Courts and Tribunal Service staff said.

The charges follow an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases after getting out of a car park lift, police said.

A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. Five people went to hospital for treatment and were later discharged.
