Horrifying scenes at the #Calais 'Jungle' as woman migrant slashes her wrists when police attack her male acquaintance during protests over the camp's demolition - MailOnline

A woman protesting the demolition of the 'Jungle' migrant camp in Calais today cut her own wrists during a standoff with French riot police.

Standing with a man on the roof of a camp dwelling, she warned police not to approach - but sliced herself when they moved forward to arrest her male companion.

The dramatic confrontation occurred as around 100 makeshift homes in the so-called ‘Jungle’ were torn to the ground yesterday, with bulldozers likely to continue their work all this week.
