Ferocious battle at Paris migrant camp: Refugees armed with metal poles clash with vigilantes under Metro station as terrified residents flee in panic.

The violence erupted underneath the tracks when a group of men threw objects at the migrants, most of whom are thought to come from Africa and the Middle East.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve had earlier announced the removal of the camp in a joint statement with Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, but the migrants returned with makeshift mattresses two weeks later.
