Macedonia police fired teargas on migrants at Greek border

IDOMENI, GREECE– Macedonian police fired teargas to disperse hundreds of migrants and refugees who stormed the border from Greece on Monday, tearing down a gate as frustrations boiled over at restrictions imposed on people moving through the Balkans.
A Reuters witness said Macedonian police fired several rounds of teargas into crowds who tore down the metal gate and onto a railway line where migrants had sat refusing to move, demanding to cross into the country.
