A Hungarian security officer fired three warning shots yesterday after about 60 migrants tried to force their way through a checkpoint on the border with Serbia, and Serbian police said later they had arrested 37 people for trying to cross the frontier illegally, the Reuters website reports today (January 29, 2020).
No one was wounded in the incident, which took place at the Roszke/Horgos border crossing, Hungarian police spokeswoman Szilvia Szabo said.
There are thousands of migrants stuck in Serbia, with more than 6,000 migrants living in government-operated camps.
Also yesterday, in the village of Horgos, on the Serbian side of the border crossing, a group of about two dozen migrants from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Morocco said they were beaten up by Hungarian police and sent back to Serbia. Some showed cuts and bruises.
