🔗 Share this article A Pair of Detentions in the Aftermath of Heathrow ‘Pepper Spray’ Attack The assault caused the partial shutdown of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the Terminal 3 parking area. An additional two individuals have been arrested in connection with a robbery at London's Heathrow Airport in which over twenty individuals sustained injuries by what is thought to be pepper spray, according to law enforcement. A 24-year-old man, was arrested in Lambeth on suspicion of robbery and assault and a 23-year-old woman was detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery. Both individuals remain in custody, the force said. The arrests follow a probe into an assault at the multi-level parking garage at Terminal 3 on Sunday. Before the incident, two women were robbed of their luggage upon exiting a car park lift. A toddler aged three was among the those hurt during the incident. A total of five individuals went to hospital for medical care and were later released. Police arrested a man in his thirties for suspected theft and assault near the location. He has since been released under investigation as the investigation proceeds. Police were called at approximately 8:10 in the morning GMT following reports of several individuals hurt by a noxious substance believed to be an irritant spray. The attack - an event that police said was a standalone incident and not considered an act of terror - caused delays to rail services and the partial closure of the main airport tunnel and the Terminal 3 parking facility briefly.
