Hungarian policemen detain migrants on the tracks as they wanted to run away at the railway station in the town of Bicske, Hungary, September 3, 2015.

BUDAPEST: Hungarian police were pushing journalists out of the railway station at the town of Bicske, where they stopped a train full of migrants, and have declared the site an "operation zone", a Reuters reporter said.

Groups of 30-40 migrants are protesting at the station, refusing to go to a nearby reception camp.

The train, still full of migrants, is stationary there.
