The man was detained before dawn in the Brabant region, police said in a statement, adding that the driver of a van with Spanish plates carrying gas canisters who was detained yesterday in Rotterdam also remained in custody.
The arrests came after last week's twin vehicle attacks in Spain that killed 15 people, which were claimed by the Islamic State group.
"A 22-year-old man from Brabant was arrested today morning in the investigation into a terrorist threat yesterday in Rotterdam," police said in a statement.
The driver, who was "possibly driving under the influence", was "arrested because of his driving", police said, adding that officers had found a "number of gas canisters" in his van.
The man, whom police said was a mechanic, will be interviewed again Thursday.
But Dutch authorities have cautioned there may be no link between the van driver and the tip-off about a terror threat which came from Spanish police.
