GEVGELIJA, Macedonia (AP) -- Thousands of migrants have rushed past police who were attempting to block them from entering Macedonia from Greece. The migrants went past barbed wire that blocked them from entry. Several people were injured when the police tried to stop them from rushing the border at another point on the border. The chaos started when police decided to allow a small group of migrants with small children to cross the frontier and the rushing crowds in the back squeezed them toward the shielded police wall. Many women, at least one pregnant, and children fell to the ground apparently fainting after squeezing past the cordon. There were no immediate reports of the number and the extent of injuries. -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
