Police at Heathrow Airport arrested a man on Sunday morning after a dispute in the Terminal 3 car park turned violent.
Officers were called following reports that several people had been attacked with what is believed to be pepper spray. The incident stemmed from an argument between individuals who knew each other and is not being treated as terrorism, the Metropolitan Police said.
Armed officers detained one suspect on suspicion of assault. He remains in custody while enquiries continue to locate the others involved.
A number of victims were taken to hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing.
The airport remained fully operational, though the incident caused some disruption to traffic and public transport in the area. Police have increased their presence at Heathrow as investigations continue.
