LONDON: London police said armed officers arrested a man today for suspected assault after people were attacked with a &#8220;form of pepper spray&#8221; at a multi-storey car park at Heathrow Airport.
The city&#8217;s Metropolitan Police said the incident, which led to injuries, was sparked by an argument between &#8220;a group of people known to each other&#8221; and was not being treated as terrorism.
Heathrow said on social media its teams were &#8220;responding to an incident involving the emergency services&#8221; at the Terminal 3 car park, and advised passengers to allow extra time when travelling to Europe&#8217;s busiest airport.
The terminal remained open throughout, though the incident prompted some traffic and public transport disruption, officials said.
London&#8217;s police force, known as The Met, said officers were first called shortly after 8am following reports of multiple people being assaulted in the car park.
&#8220;A number of people were sprayed with what is believed to be a form of pepper spray by a group of men who then left the scene,&#8221; it said.
&#8220;Armed response officers attended and arrested one man on suspicion of assault. He remains in custody and enquiries continue to trace further suspects,&#8221; it added
London Ambulance Service responded to the scene and an unknown number of victims were taken to hospital, according to the Met.
&#8220;Their injuries are not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening,&#8221; it added.
Commander Peter Stevens said police believe the argument between the group had escalated, &#8220;resulting in a number of people being injured&#8221;.
&#8220;Our officers responded quickly and there will be an increased police presence at Heathrow Airport throughout the morning, to continue enquiries and ensure the safety of those in the area,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;We are not treating this incident as terrorism,&#8221; he added.
