Police say two more arrests have been made following a suspected assault and robbery with pepper spray at Heathrow Airport on Sunday.
On Monday afternoon, officers arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of robbery and assault and a 23-year-old woman on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery in Lambeth, south London, according to the Metropolitan Police.
Both suspects are in custody.
Meanwhile, police have revealed that they have released a 31-year-old man arrested on suspicion of robbery and assault pending investigation.
A three-year-old girl is also among the 21 people injured in the attack.
Armed police were called to Terminal 3 at 8.11am on Sunday following reports that a number of people had been sprayed with a substance in the multi-storey car park.
All five were taken to hospital and later allowed to go home.
Detectives say that before the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases after exiting the car park lift.
“Officers arrested a 31-year-old man near the scene on suspicion of robbery and assault. He has been released following investigations while inquiries continue,” the Met Police said.
The attack caused severe disruption to passenger travel and holidaymakers said they were left stranded for hours at airport bus stops.
