Brawls break out among migrants near French port city Calais
Brawls break out among migrants near French port city Calais
Updated 10:30 am, Tuesday, August 22, 2017
PARIS (AP) — Authorities say as many as 200 migrants have clashed near the northern French port city of Calais, using sticks and iron bars in five battles pitting mainly Afghans against Eritreans.
The prefecture of the Pas-de-Calais region said up to 150 migrants were involved in the latest mass brawl on Tuesday afternoon. It says five people were slightly injured before police dispersed the group.
The prefecture says four previous fights started late Monday and continued until dawn. Six riot police were injured, along with 16 others.
Police detained seven migrants and put 20 others in administrative detention,
Authorities cleared some 7,000 migrants from a makeshift camp in Calais last fall, but people hoping to enter Britain illegally via the English Channel are steadily returning.
