Security alert in London airport

The North terminal of Gatwick airport near London was evacuated on Saturday morning when a man was apprehended reportedly carrying a bag full of grenades.

The bomb squad arrived to deal with the suspected explosive devices.

In the south terminal of the airport, people were told to stay inside and have still not been allowed to leave.

Those who were evacuated from the north terminal earlier are outside waiting to be let back in.

Commenters on the ground say the atmosphere is calm.
