Macedonia: Migrants blasted with stun grenades
MACEDONIAN special police forces fired stun grenades yesterday to disperse thousands of migrants stuck on a no-man’s land with Greece, a day after declaring a state of emergency on its border to deal with a massive influx of migrants heading north to the European Union.
A crowd of 3,000 migrants who spent the night out in the open made several attempts to charge Macedonian police after the border was shut to crossings the previous day. At least eight people were injured in the melee, according to Greek police.
One youngster was bleeding from what appeared to be shrapnel from the stun grenades that were fired directly into the crowd.
