* Frustrated refugees finally lost their patience and demanded to be allowed to cross Serbia's border into Hungary
* They have been stuck on the Serbian side of the crossing since Hungary finished erecting its razor wire fences
* Several hundred refugees stormed the fences this afternoon, throwing rocks and bottles at Hungarian police
* Riot officers responded by firing tear gas and water cannons, sparking a stampede among panicked refugees
* Tonight many were seen breaking through the barricade while outnumbered riot police sheltered behind shields
* But Hungary's heavy-handed approach has been condemned by the UN Secretary-General and human rights groups

Hundreds of migrants have smashed their way past police and into Hungary after chaos at the country's border saw them hurl rocks at riot police who hit back with tear gas and water cannons.

After an afternoon of battles in which Hungarian riot police launched tear gas and unleashed water cannons on the thousands of migrants gathered along the country's border with Serbia, many finally managed to break through.

Tonight the crowd were seen pouring through the border crossing while Hungarian police reinforcements sheltered behind their riot gear. However, fresh batches of tear gas sent panic into the crowd - with the refugees either beaten back or held in 'no man's land' between the two countries.
