Police were called at approximately 08:10 GMT after reports came in regarding several individuals hurt by a noxious substance believed to be an irritant spray. The attack - an event that authorities stated was a standalone incident and not being treated as an act of terror - caused train delays and the temporary shutdown of the main airport tunnel and the Terminal 3 car park for a short time.
