Two men have been charged following a suitcase robbery where a suspected capsaicin spray caused injuries at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two robbery charges and charges for using a harmful chemical, according to official statements.

This legal action stems from an probe of an assault at the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Earlier that day, two female travelers had their suitcases taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, authorities reported.

A three-year-old girl was one of the people hurt in the event. Several persons were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.

This event – which authorities stated was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – caused disruptions to rail services and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
