Hundreds of Migrants were struck since Tuesday Sep 01,2015 when Hungary decided to prevent them from entering the train station. Several migrants clashed with police.
The Hungary Government said it closed the station to restore order and enforce European Union rules on migrant distribution and registration.
The EU rule on refugees, known as the Dublin Regulation, says asylum seekers must register in the first EU member country in which they arrived. Germany recently said it would suspend the rule for
Syrian migrants who traveled to the country, which is encouraging Migrants to continue travelling toward Munich.
Dozens of migrants attempted to cram themselves into a train headed for Munich, but Hungary reportedly is not allowing people to travel to Germany. Other migrants were attempting to reach Vienna, Austria.
One train carrying migrants departed Budapest on Thursday, headed toward the Austrian border.
A desperate
refugee family have been photographed being dragged off an Austria-bound
train by Hungarian authorities who wanted to take them away to a
migrant holding camp.
Having
finally been allowed to leave Budapest on board trains bound for
western Europe after a tense two day stand off with police, hundreds of
refugees now face further frustration and delays after their train was
halted in the nearby town of Bicske and all those on board ordered off.
Hungarian
police officers wearing protective helmets and carrying truncheons
demanded the refugees make their way to a migrant holding centre in the
town - leading to clashes with those desperate to start a new life in
western Europe.

one particularly harrowing sequence of images a father overcome with
emotion tries desperately to protect his wife and child from being taken
away - lying down on the tracks in protest before officers dragged them
away for their own safety.
