Intrusion by large group of migrants stops Eurotunnel service overnight
LONDON — Eurotunnel passenger service between France and the UK was gradually resuming Saturday morning after being suspended overnight due to an intrusion of their French terminal by more than 100 migrants and refugees.
A large group "arrived together in a well-organised manner, broke through the fences and all clearly knew where they were going," a Eurotunnel spokesman said.
The rail company said several staff members and two police officers were injured as people threw stones and ran through the terminal, at around 12:30 a.m. local time.
Services were suspended while French police and British authorities removed people from the tracks and the area.
