A MIGRANT turf war erupted into violence on the streets of one of Paris' trendiest neighbourhoods early this morning as asylum seekers beat each other to a pulp with wooden clubs.

The
area around Stalingrad Metro station was turned into a refugee
battleground as rival gangs of migrants set upon each other in shocking
scenes of violence.
Asylum seekers wearing hooded tops
wielded makeshift clubs fashioned from lengths of wood which they used
to bludgeon each other as horrified pedestrians looked on.

The
blood-curdling brawl erupted just yards from the Stalingrad Metro
station, where a squalid migrant camp has popped up following the
demolition of the Jungle.
It was not immediately clear
what sparked the early morning fight, but rival gangs of people
smugglers have previously been involved in violent brawls in Calais.
And despite the horrific brawl, a pro-migrant rally is apparently being organised to take place at the camp at 6pm tonight.

Rival gangs of migrants smugglers have frequently bawled in France
The
once peaceful neighbourhood, in Paris' 10th Arrondissement, used to be a
popular area with tourists, boasting a lively nightlife scene bustling
with restaurants and bars.
But worried residents have
revealed how it has become a no go zone in recent weeks following the
establishment of the refugee camp, which has brought squalor and
violence.
Thousands of migrants – mostly from Sudan,
Libya, Afghanistan, and Eritrea – have pitched tents under the Metro
station after the demolition of the Jungle hampered their attempts to
reach Britain.
French police have tried and failed on
many occasions to clear the squalid squat, but asylum seekers simply
keep on returning and reestablishing it.
