Gavin Grey: UK correspondent on a person arrested after a string of pepper spray attacks at Heathrow Airport · Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: To the UK. We go Gavin greg good morning to you,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Good morning Andrew. So some bloke's been spraying pepper spray
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: all other people that he throw.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, twenty one injured in total. Five of those needed
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: hospital treatment. But the chaos as the car park. This
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: was at the car park two Terminal three at London's
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Heater Airport. The car park was pretty much in lockdown
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: for a couple of hours and that meant people were
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: hanging around trying to get their cars basically having gone
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: on holiday, so pretty miserable for them. And now police
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: have been quick to say this was not terrorist or
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: terrorists related. They say it was not a protest. Instead,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: it looked like a group of people who knew each
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: other got involved in an argument. That argument escalated and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: then that resulted in its alleged somebody using something like
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: pepper spray to spray people that they didn't like, but
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: ultimately others got caught up in it. Social media footage
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I've seen shows large armed police response, fire engines and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: officer searching a handcuff individuals. Incidentally, more suspects of being
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: searched for one person has been arrested. But quite extraordinary
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: experience and also tremendous knock on. As I said, for
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: those people who are at Heather today.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: And speaking of bonkers whippons, some people have been throwing
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: custard and apple crumble at the Crown Jewels.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, thankfully the Crown Jewels are not harmed or damaged
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: in any way. They are of course behind strong glass.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: This in the Tower of London, no less. But this
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: is a new group, new I think to most people,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: called take Back Power. They appear to be an offshoot
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of just Stop Oil, which of course we do know
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: about and have heard about. They say there are a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: new nonviolent civil resistance group. They want to effectively have
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a permanent citizens Assembly or House of the people, with
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the power to tax extreme wealth and fix Britain. Anyway,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Andrew more of that later. Because the four people have
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: been arrested, they use custom and apple crumble to throw
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: at the Crown Jewels behind glass. Of course they are
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: just priceless, so plenty of concern that they might have damaged,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: but yeah, permanently guard stationed in and around the room,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and thankfully no particular damage. Nevertheless, it's suggested this could
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: be the first in several stunts that this group carry out.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Apparently on Wednesday, they left manure under the Christmas tree
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: of one of London's top hotels.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Let's be on the pale and I thank you Gavin
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Gray from the UK.
