Officers said “a number of items” could prove vital in helping detectives probing the attack.
SEARCH
A port worker told the Sunday Mirror: “He was surrounded by about seven police officers after he came in to buy a ticket.
“It was all done very quickly and quietly. There was no sign of a struggle. It was difficult to see him or what he looked like because they moved towards him so fast.”
Ghiocal Duculescu, from Romania, was sitting in the port terminal at the time of the arrest.
He said: “There was no fuss or drama. He must have walked right past us and then been taken away quickly into a back room.”
It is understood the suspect had travelled from London Victoria by train then walked 30 minutes from the rail station to the port. Police in black boiler suits evacuated the terminal three hours later.
They then conducted a forensic search of the area and bins outside the port. Further police probes were being carried out at the town’s Dover Priory train station.
