London-area police evacuated one of two terminals at Gatwick Airport and arrested a man Saturday morning after he was spotted discarding a suspicious item, UPI reported. The Sussex Police were called to the airport about 9:30 a.m. local time "following suspicious actions by a man who discarded an item at the airport." The man, who has not been identified, was arrested and police were investigating the scene. It is unclear if the man has been charged with a crime. Gatwick airport authorities said the north terminal was evacuated as a "precautionary measure." At least 128 people were killed in coordinated attacks at several locations in Paris on Friday night. The Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility. "At this time, we are investigating the circumstances of the incident and it is too early to say what the item may be," Sussex police Detective Superintendent Nick May said. "However, given the events in Paris on Friday evening, there is heightened awareness around any such incident and it is best that we treat the matter in all seriousness."
