They've been taken off the carriages at Bicske and herded into an underpass by officers. 

Meanwhile, The family of a small boy, whose body was pictured washed up on a Turkish beach, were Syrian refugees who had been trying to emigrate to Canada.

Images of 3 year old Aylan Kurdi lying face down on the shore have shocked the world and prompted renewed calls for European countries to take in more refugees.

Aylan died with his five-year-old brother, Galip, and mother, Rehan. Their father, Abdullah, survived.

The family had been denied permission for legal migration to Canada where they have relatives, and resorted to boarding a smuggler's boat in an attempt to make the journey.

Peter Bouckaert – Emergency Director at Human Rights Watch – was the first person to share the photographs of Aylan
