🚨 Incident at Heathrow Terminal 3 🚨
A chaotic morning unfolded at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 3 car park as 21 people were affected by a “pepper spray”-like attack. A man has been arrested following the unsettling events, but police are actively searching for other suspects.
The incident, which is not being treated as terrorism, occurred around 8 am and led to five individuals being hospitalised. Thankfully, none of the injuries are deemed life-threatening. London Ambulance Service was on the scene promptly and has since completed their operations.
Heathrow is advising travellers to check with airlines for any disruptions and to allow extra time for journeys. Passengers are experiencing delays, with some waiting hours for shuttle buses from the terminal. Heathrow staff have been distributing bottled water to ease the inconvenience.
Commander Peter Stevens assured the public, noting an increased police presence around the airport to ensure everyone’s safety. He mentioned the incident appears to have stemmed from a personal dispute rather than a random act, though investigations are ongoing.
