A Hungarian train bound for towns near the Austrian border with several hundred migrants onboard was stopped near one of the country's four main refugee camps and the migrants taken off, state news agency MTI reported.

The train stopped at Bicske, around 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Budapest, and police took the migrants off and directed them onto buses to take them to the nearby camp, MTI reported from the scene. AFP estimated there were around 200-300 migrants on board.
