Before the attack, two women were robbed of their suitcases after getting out of a parking garage elevator. A three-year-old girl was one of the injured in the event. A total of five individuals went to hospital for treatment and have since been released. Officers detained a man in his thirties for suspected theft and assault near the scene.

Authorities were alerted at approximately 8:10 in the morning GMT after reports came in regarding a number of individuals injured by a noxious substance believed to be pepper spray. The attack - which police said was a standalone incident and not considered an act of terror - caused train delays and the partial closure of the Central Terminal Area tunnel and the T3 parking facility for a short time.
