This event led to the temporary shutdown of the main airport tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park.

Formal charges have been brought against two men following a suitcase robbery where a substance thought to be pepper spray resulted in harm at the major London air hub.

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, authorities have stated.

These accusations come after an investigation into an attack at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on Sunday. Prior to the attack, two female travelers had their luggage taken after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.

A toddler was among those injured in the event. Five people were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.

The incident – described by police as was isolated and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the partial closure of the main airport road tunnel and the T3 parking area for a limited duration.
