About 350 migrants managed on Thursday to cross a high border fence separating the Spanish North African enclave of Melilla from Morocco after a wave of migrants tried to climb for a second consecutive day, authorities said.
They were just a fraction of the 1,200 migrants who tried to scale the six-metre (20-foot) fence, whom the central government in Melilla described as "extremely violent" in a statement.
They wielded hooks and sticks and pelted guards with stones, causing minor injuries to four police officers, it added.
