* Migrants started pushing and shoving in a queue during a registration procedure at a stadium of Kos town
* There were only a handful of police officers left to control a crowd of approximately 1,500 jostling migrants
* Officers used were left trying to impose order on the crowd by hitting the fighting migrants with their batons
* When that didn't work the police resorted to blasting the migrants with foam, causing hundreds to flee in panic

Fights broke out among migrants on the Greek island of Kos this morning, with police officers forced to spray crowds with fire extinguishers in a desperate effort to get them to disperse.

The incident took place during a registration procedure which was taking place at the stadium of Kos town, on the south east of the island.

A handful of officers were left trying to impose order on the crowd by hitting the jostling migrants with batons and eventually resorted to blasting them with foam, causing hundreds to flee in panic.

Tensions on the tourist island are high with its mayor today warning of 'bloodshed' if the situation degenerates' further, claiming there are already 7,000 migrants stranded on Kos which has a population of just 30,000 people.

WNU Editor: I have lost count on how many times I have mentioned in this blog that this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are literally tens of millions of people .... if given the chance .... would flee the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia to Western Europe .... and they would do it in a heartbeat. Is Europe ready for this massive wave of refugees .... not even close.
