Migrants storm train departing Budapest unaware it was destined for refugee camp
Following a two-day stoppage of trains departing for Western Europe, migrants camped at Keleti train station pushed and fought their way aboard the first train to arrive. Chaos broke out after a train bound for Hungary’s border with Austria was stopped in the town of Bicske, where Hungary has a migrant reception centre.
Over 2,000 migrants have been camped in front of the Keleti Railway Terminus, closed to them by authorities saying European Union rules bar travel by those without valid documents.BERNADETT SZABO/Reuters
