Chaos also broke out a few kilometres away along the 4-meter razor wire border fence hastily erected to stop migrant crossings. Hungarian police fired tear gas and deployed water cannons at crowds of migrants who tried to break into the barrier.

Hundreds have been camped outside the Serbian town of Horgos since Budapest sealed off the border earlier this week. Protests broke out this morning (16 September) as migrants and refugees, many of whom escaped war in the Middle East, demanded to be allowed in to continue their journey.

"There is a lot of frustration because they come so far and in such tough conditions, they walked hundreds of kilometre and then they get here [stuck] in a kind of a limbo," Francine Uenuma, who was in Horgos for charity Save the Children, told reporters.
