Bicske railway station

Refugees break through police cordon in Hungary, run west

Surprised riot police scrambled for their helmets as the huge crowd suddenly surged from the front of the train.

Police were able to block only a minority of the estimated 500 people inside. Police pushed those they blocked back onto the train amid much shouting and screaming and infants crying.

In the receding distance, an Associated Press reporter saw at least 200 migrants, probably more, running in a wide group along the railway line west of Bicske and heading for Austria 135 kilometers (84 miles) to the west.
