Formal charges have been brought against two men related to a luggage theft where a believed to be irritant spray resulted in harm at the UK's busiest airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, have both been charged with two counts of robbery and charges for deploying a toxic agent, according to official statements.

This legal action stems from an probe of an attack at the multi-storey car park 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 car park lift, authorities reported.

A toddler was one of the people hurt during the incident. Five people required hospital care and were subsequently released.

The incident – described by police as was a standalone event and not considered a terror-related act – resulted in train delays and the temporary blocking of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking area for a brief period.
