(Breitbart) A migrant attempting to cross the English Channel illegally on Saturday stabbed a French gendarme who was trying to block their group from setting sail.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, as people smugglers began to try to release the next wave of illegal migrants to the shores of Britain, a member of the gendarmerie tasked with patrolling a beach in the Calais region — a longstanding hotspot for migrant camps given its proximity to Dover — was stabbed with a knife by one of the migrants.
The gendarme suffered a wound in the hand during the attack, forcing him to receive surgery to repair the damage caused by the migrant knifeman.
