Two police officers and four migrants suffered minor injuries during scuffles, local authorities of the Pas-de-Calais region said.
Around 100 of the migrants managed to walk as far as 13 miles into the Channel Tunnel during the mass break-in before police intervened to stop them getting any further.
“The migrants entered the south tunnel and went quite far, around 13 miles,” said the top official for the region, Fabienne Buccio.
A Eurotunnel spokesman described the latest incident at its Calais terminal as a “massive invasion and intrusion by a very large and coordinated group”.
He added: “It’s clearly an organized attack when it comes in such a large number; there are over 100 in this one group.
“They arrived together an in a well-organized manner, broke through the fences and all clearly knew where they were going. They are being gathered up by the police authorities.”
“While they are on the track we have, for safety reasons, to suspend the service. Once that’s done we will be able to restart” said a Eurotunnel spokesman.
Eurotunnel said train services were suspended for safety reasons after people were spotted on the tracks, but no passengers were trapped on trains as a result of the incident.
“While they are on the track we have, for safety reasons, to suspend the service. Once that’s done we will be able to restart,” said the spokesman, adding: “It’s a very coordinated and well-managed process but it’s a very large group of people and it’s dark so it will have to be done very carefully.”
The company has recently implemented extra security to try to prevent Islamists getting onto the tracks, forcing migrants into attempt more desperate or organized attempts to gain access to the terminal and trains.
The spokesman said: “Quite probably because the security at the tunnel is strengthening every day, with the new fences being put up, new security installations and additional staff, it’s becoming much harder for invaders to get through in small numbers.
“This looks like quite a carefully coordinated and organized attack, possibly to raise the profile of their situation or as last-ditch attempt before the new fences are up.”
Well, their situation is not getting sympathy from the general populace, only the Euro elites. And the fences probably need 24 hour armed guards to keep them from being destroyed by the invaders.
Europe brought this upon themselves. They have generously agreed to commit cultural and physical suicide to placate the invaders who seek to destroy them and all they are. Everything in Europe must be destroyed to accommodate Islam…and the continent is allowing it. See it in the video…

Too bad they gave up their guns….
Terrorists, refugees include women and children. I don’t see any
So if they are not allowed to enter the UK but tries to enter illegally that makes them an illegal alien … They need to go back to their home country … The European people have enough problems, and we don’t need them in the US either …
That will be going on here soon enough.God help us.
Maybe Samuel but that is a far cry for what these idiots that run this page are trying to imply.
These are an invading force, not refugees.
Who knows what the truth is in a media story anymore? We have a disadvantage of not seeing it with our own eyes. While I believe that ISIS is mixed in with refugees, I can’t help but think also that conservative media outlets try to make us dislike them even more than some of us already do. What do liberal and conservative media have in common? I believe that they both are trying to fulfill their own agendas by planting seeds of hate and mistrust. They are here to divide the citizens of the world with the most popular topics of the day.
They are not refugees but terrorist attacks on the people of the towns
Go get them the muslim terrorist president is behind the scenes of the attacks on the people of the world thw USA IS NEXT
