Pepper Spray Panic at Heathrow Car Park – Multiple Injured!
Chaos Unleashed at Terminal 3 Car Park
Heathrow Airport was thrown into turmoil this morning when a gang unleashed pepper spray in the busy Terminal 3 multi-storey car park. Several people were caught in the attack, sparking panic and confusion just after 8am.
Police rushed to the scene after reports came in at 8:11am. Witnesses say a group of men sprayed the substance at several victims before dashing off.
An armed response unit quickly arrested one man on suspicion of assault. He remains in custody as officers hunt for others involved.
Victims Treated, No Serious Injuries
Emergency services acted fast, with London Ambulance Service treating and hospitalising the injured. Thankfully, none suffered life-threatening or permanent injuries.
Traffic near Terminal 3 is still disrupted, but the terminal itself remains open to travellers.
