An additional two individuals have been arrested in connection with a theft at Heathrow Airport in which 21 people were injured by a substance believed to be pepper spray, according to police.
A 24-year-old man, was arrested in Lambeth for suspected robbery and assault and a 23-year-old woman was detained on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery. They both remain in custody, the force said.
These detentions come after an investigation into an assault at the multi-storey car park at Heathrow's Terminal 3 on Sunday. Prior to the incident, a pair of female travelers had stolen from them their suitcases after getting out of a parking garage elevator.
A toddler aged three was one of the injured during the incident. A total of five individuals went to hospital for medical care and have since been discharged.
Police detained a man in his thirties on suspicion of theft and assault near the location. He has since been released under investigation while inquiries continue.
Authorities were alerted at about 08:10 GMT after reports came in regarding several individuals injured by a noxious substance thought to be pepper spray.
The assault - an event that authorities stated was isolated and not considered an act of terror - caused train delays and the temporary shutdown of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 car park for a short time.
