Injured Syrian taken to hospital after illegally crossing border from Serbia

Budapest, July 27 (MTI) – A Syrian man was taken to hospital with injuries near Asotthalom at the Hungarian-Serbian border early on Monday after a brawl on the Serbian side of the border that had claimed one life.

A spokesman from the Csongrad County police said that Hungarian police caught the man while he was crossing the border illegally. He had injuries, so an ambulance took him to hospital and he was reported to the Serbian police and border police in Subotica (Szabadka).

Police patrols have been strengthened around Asotthalom to guarantee the safety of local residents, the spokesman said.

An Afghan man died and two were injured in the brawl between two migrant groups in an orchard in the Serbian village of Backi Vinogradi (Királyhalom).
