TERROR ARREST AT AIRPORT
A man has been arrested under terror laws in a dramatic incident at Manchester airport.
A Taser stun gun was apparently used on the man after he got through a security gate and approached a plane.
Police said they had found a suspect package in the area. One of the boarding areas at Terminal 2 was closed.
Greater Manchester Police said one man had been arrested under the Terrorism Act.
A police spokesman said: "Police attempted to arrest the men who struggled with officers. A Tazer was then used to detain the man.
"The army bomb disposal unit were called to examine the package which was found.
"A cordon was set up and parts of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 have been closed."
The airport said there would be disruption to flights but passengers should continue to report to the airport as normal.
