Two men have been charged following a suitcase robbery where a believed to be irritant spray resulted in harm at London's Heathrow Airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, now face two counts of robbery and two counts of using a harmful chemical, as confirmed by court officials.

This legal action stems from an probe of an assault at the parking structure at Heathrow's Terminal Three on the weekend. Before the assault occurred, two women were robbed of their luggage stolen after getting out of a parking garage elevator, according to law enforcement.

A three-year-old girl was among those injured during the incident. A total of five individuals were taken to a medical facility and were subsequently released.

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