A “large and co-ordinated” group stormed tracks at Calais on Friday at about 11.30pm United Kingdom time.

Channel Tunnel staff and two police officers were reportedly injured in the attack.
Eurotunnel services for passengers and freight were suspended, and while trains have started running again they are likely to proceed slowly through the Calais area, disrupting normal timetables, he said.
The spokesman added: “They ran through the terminal, knocking a few staff to the ground and throwing stones at them”.
“They arrived together and in a well-organised manner broke through the fences and all clearly knew where they were going”.
Rail services resumed on Saturday morning but traffic was slow due to continued safety checks, the company said.
Roughly 200 migrants forced the lock Eurotunnel‘s lethal late at night by demolition grille, by using 120 getting into the dig before being intercepted inside by French watch, the firm and policemen said.
But on arrival at Folkestone the man was spotted by police officers anticipating attempts by migrants to enter the country.
Eurotunnel has said it “deplored” the accident, and a spokesman added: “It’s another very regrettable incident which serves to highlight the risks associated with crossing the Channel illegally”.
Police intervened to prevent the group, which a police source put at least 300, from entering the port.
Last week, a teenager who may have been trying to reach the United Kingdom died after he was hit by a train near the French entrance to the tunnel.
On Tuesday, it was reported that a 20-year-old Iraqi man had been found dead in a UK-bound lorry.
Migrants in makeshift camps outside known as the “jungle” regularly try to reach Britain by hiding in lorries and trains. The number of attempted break-ins has fallen to around 100 per night, police say.

Calais has always been an immigration flashpoint but in the past year has become part of a wider pan-European crisis, with states struggling to agree on how to handle inflows of people fleeing conflicts or poverty in the Middle East and Africa.
