- Pictures show a mass brawl as migrants attacked each other with sticks next to an encampment in Paris
- Gangs of men wielding makeshift clubs are seen squaring up for a street battle in the Stalingrad district
- Comes days after authorities destroyed Calais Jungle and hours after riot police helped clear a Paris camp
This is the moment a mass brawl broke out as migrants in Paris attacked each other with sticks - hours after authorities moved in to smash up an illegal city centre camp.
Pictures show men lunging at each other with makeshift clubs last night next to a row of tents in the Stalingrad district of the French capital.
Amid chaotic scenes, gangs of men were seen brandishing pieces of wood and squaring up for a street battle.
The violence unfolded just hours after demolition workers supported by riot police began smashing up an illegal camp full of UK-bound migrants in Paris.
It also came in the wake of the destruction of the Calais Jungle which saw refugees transported around the country

It is not yet known what caused the fight in Paris.
There had already been scuffles on Monday as mainly Afghans and Eritreans tried to save their possessions during the raid, which started soon after 8am.
It followed thousands of migrants arriving in the French capital following the razing of the Calais Jungle refugee camp last week.
While some 5000 Jungle residents agreed to be bused to resettlement centres around France, many others headed off independently, saying they still wanted to get to Britain.
Up to 3000 set up tents on the pavements around the Stalingrad Metro station, which is close to the Gare du Nord Eurostar hub in the north of Paris.
The cause of the violence is not yet known, but it involved large groups of migrants camping in the Stalingrad district of Paris
