Exhausted refugees tear gassed at border

Barred at Hungary, refugees take longer route through Croatia.

Hungarian police used tear gas and water cannons on hundreds of refugees who broke through a razor wire fence on the border with Serbia, while refugees prevented from moving through Hungary increasingly began taking a longer route into western Europe through Croatia.

Frustrated refugees blocked on the Serbian side of the border threw plastic water bottles and rocks at helmeted riot police and chanted demands that the border be reopened. Police responded with tear gas and water cannons.
