<p>The line of people at Terminal 3 of Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport was evacuated for around 30 minutes as the 29-year-old man was detained by police.</p>
<p>Reports say that the man shouted out that he was carrying a bomb, and pictures on social media show a man lying on the floor as officers point rifles at him.</p>
<p>Muhammad Syafiee tweeted shortly after the incident at 8am today: “Schiphol Airport on lockdown after some scare or alleged gunshots were heard. We actually ran for our lives.”</p>
<p>A spokeswoman at the airport said: “The 29-year-old British man was arrested at around 8am.</p>
<p>“It was only the one check-in line that had to be evacuated for maximum half an hour – if that. Security control remained open as it is located further away.</p>
<p>“He was taken away by the police.”</p>
<p>Dutch Military Police spokesman Eric Vermeulen told the Guardian: &#8220;The man was walking through Departure Hall 3 when passengers heard him shout out several times that he had a bomb.</p>
<p>&#8220;They were concerned enough to inform the police, who subdued him and searched him with explosives search dogs.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have established that this was a false alarm and the man is the only suspect.</p>
<p>&#8220;We now want to find out why he decided to cause a false alarm.&#8221;</p>
<p>The spokesman said the incident lasted around 20 to 30 minutes and confirmed the arrested man was travelling on a British passport.</p>
