Witnesses said armed police arrested a man believed to have a gun in his bag.
A spokesperson for Sussex Police told The Independent that she could not confirm the reports of a security alert but said: “The terminal is being evacuated at the moment. It is for the protection at the public.”
She said the evacuation was a precautionary measure sparked by the discovery of a "suspicious article".
