| So is it feral yoots, an Antifa action, or all the way to Clockwork Orange territory? |
[BBC] Tom Bate told the BBC that he thought he was in a middle of an attack."I was at Terminal 3 waiting for a lift to get to the parking garage with around 50 other people when I saw young men dressed in black darting through the crowd," says Tom who flew in from the US.
"They went through a side door and up a set of stairs.
"As soon as they left people started coughing, and then I started to cough. I felt a burning at the back of my throat."
After Tom got to his car and started driving out of the car park he saw police arriving.
"About 10 to 20 heavily armed police officers came looking around.
"It was an amazing thing to see the police running to danger.
"I’m so glad to hear now that it’s not terrorism because it felt like I was in a middle of an attack - it was pretty intense.”
| Update at 1:30 p.m. ET from the Times of Israel: |
London police say they arrested a man for suspected assault after people were attacked with a “form of pepper spray” at a multistory car park at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 3.
The city’s Metropolitan Police says the incident was sparked by an argument between a group of people known to each other and was not being treated as terrorism.
Heathrow says on social media its teams were “responding to an incident involving the emergency services” and advised passengers to allow extra time when traveling to Europe’s busiest airport.
