Hungarian police have fired tear gas as hundreds of migrants broke through the new razor wire fence along the Serbian border.
Some 1,500 migrants who want travel through Hungary are now blocked by the fence, with tensions boiling over around 3pm local time this afternoon. Police used tear gas and water cannon as the migrants threw bricks and rocks at them.
