Greek officers fired tear gas as angry migrants hoping to make their way to northern Europe hurled stones and bottles after being barred from reaching a nearby border crossing, witnesses said.

Syrian refugee Yaser said: “We don’t want to fight with the Greek police. We want to go to Europe, we don’t want to stay in Greece.
