Police reportedly used a taser gun to disable an armed man at Gatwick’s South Terminal in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
A passenger raised the alarm after seeing him with a gun at around 02.00.
The man went into the terminal building where he was stopped by police on routine patrol who used a Taser gun to disable him, Sky News reported.
The suspect was arrested and taken into custody for questioning.
Chief Superintendent Paul Morrison, head of operations for the force, was quoted as saying: "This incident was dealt with promptly by my officers.
"Such incidents are rare and the speed and professionalism in which it was resolved meant that no-one at the airport was harmed."
