Clashes erupted between riot police and migrants early this morning in northern France, with projectiles thrown and fires lit in the street.
Dramatic pictures and video show a group throwing rocks in the direction of the officers early on Friday, while fires blazed in the road near a park in Gravelines.
The confrontation is said to have been triggered when police arrived to stop the launch of a small boat, likely bound for Britain, from a canal in the town.
A number of men who faced off with police were wearing life jackets, according to reporters at the scene.
The incident involving the group of migrants and Gendarmerie and Police Nationale officers, who were equipped with shields, helmets and tear gas.
It lasted for about 20 minutes at around 5.30am and police reportedly used tear gas to disperse the group.
Yesterday morning, migrants were filmed running into the water and boarding a dinghy at Gravelines beach.
Pictures show people running out to meet the inflatable boat, which was dangerously overfull with dozens of young men clinging onto the sides in a desperate attempt to cross the channel.
