Man was part of a group of 300 migrants who tried to scale the fence in the dark.
One man has died and eight people have been injured after 300 migrants tried to storm a border fence around the Spanish enclave of Melilla in north Africa.
The man, whose identity and nationality were not known, died after falling 16ft from the fence, and medics were not able to revive him.
‘It was dark, the area was unknown and it seems like he fell,’ the spokesman said, adding it was not clear if the migrant died from injuries sustained in his fall of from a heart attack.
Another eight migrants were lightly injured, mainly with bruises, as well as three police officers, including one who dislocated his soldier, he added.
