Hungary Closes Serbia Border, 300 Migrants Escape Refugee Camp

Hungary has now closed its main border with Serbia after 300 migrants were reported to have escape a nearby refugee camp.

"In the interest of preventing accidents, the police have temporarily closed the Roszke motorway border crossing to incoming traffic and are redirecting traffic to (a national road)," police announced in an AFP report.

The border closing and migrants' escape are fresh developments to the ongoing migrant crisis that is confronting Europe. Several thousand migrants were apprehended early Friday and placed in four of Hungary's refugee camps. Around 500 of these clashed with police and refused to get off trains that they believe would take them to the Austrian border, according to the AFP report.
