Belgrade, Dhu-AlHijjah 2, 1436, Sep 16, 2015, SPA -- Hungarian police on Wednesday fired tear gas and water cannon to push back hundreds of immigrants trying to enter the country as a wave of other asylum seekers sought alternative routes to take them deep inside the European Union, dpa reported. The immigrants, camped at the border with Serbia after Hungary slammed its doors to asylum seekers Tuesday, hurled bottles and rocks at police in riot gear as they tried to break through border barricades near the Hungarian village of Roszke. Police drove them back. At least 20 police were injured, said Gyorgy Bakondi, an aide to Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
