A woman is believed to have been robbed of her suitcase before 21 people were injured in a ‘pepper spray attack’ at Heathrow airport.
Armed police descended on the airport’s Terminal 3 multi-storey car park yesterday after reports multiple people had been sprayed with the substance after what police described as an ‘escalated argument’. The attackers then fled the scene, British The Independent newspaper said.
London Ambulance Service said it cared for 21 people, including a three-year-old girl, before transporting five of them to hospital.
The resulting chaos saw overcrowding at key transport links, with passengers left waiting for hours for taxis and shuttle buses.
A 31-year-old man has been arrested.
