Police have announced that a group of men used pepper spray on several passengers during an incident that occurred this morning at London's Heathrow Airport.
According to reports, five people were taken to hospital for treatment, while some passengers became agitated and attempted to leave their cars and taxis to walk on the streets, even passing barriers that warned "no pedestrians allowed beyond this point."
In the United Kingdom, pepper spray is classified as an offensive weapon and is illegal for citizens to possess, purchase, or carry. Only police officers are authorized to use the substance, and only in specific cases such as crowd control or self-defense.
The incident was reported at 8:04 a.m., and authorities were immediately dispatched to the scene.
Major incident declared at Heathrow Airport as a number of people were sprayed with what is believed to be a form of pepper spray.

Police have announced that they are working with emergency teams and have taken measures to ensure that passengers remain in the vehicles to avoid any further danger.
In an attempt to control the situation, officers stopped passengers who attempted to walk on the road and returned them to their cars.
Five people were also taken to hospital for treatment, while the London Ambulance Service reported that a total of 21 patients were treated at the scene.
At the moment, investigations into this incident are ongoing and police have announced that they are searching for other people who may have been involved.
While authorities are dealing with the incident, there have been disruptions to services on the Elizabeth Line of rail transport, causing delays of up to 10 minutes.
This has led to inconvenience for passengers, some of whom have sought to get out of their cars to walk faster, defying the rules and going past the barriers.
