Two men have been charged with robbery and administering a noxious substance after more than 20 people were affected by what was thought to be pepper spray at Heathrow airport.

Tyrone Richards, 31, and Anton Clarke-Butcher, 24, are due to appear at Uxbridge magistrates court on Tuesday.

HM courts and tribunal service staff confirmed that they were each charged with two counts of robbery and two counts of administering a noxious substance.

Ambulance crews treated 21 people, including a three-year-old child, who had been hit with a noxious spray in a multi-storey car park at Terminal 3 on Sunday.
