Tensions have flared between migrants and police at a makeshift camp in the French capital.<br /><br /> Officers moved in to clear tents from pavements, where hundreds of migrants have gathered. Some scuffles broke out between the two sides, with riot police brought in.<br /><br /> Makeshift camps have sprung up since the demolition began of the migrant camp at Calais.<br /><br /> Shikhali Mirzai, a migrant from Afghanistan, told reporters: “This morning the police came. People were thinking that the police would come tomorrow to give a house, a camp. <br /><br /> “Where are these people going to sleep? It’s very cold. This isn’t a life, it’s an animal’s life.”<br /><br /> Houssam El Assimi, a charity worker, said: “What’s happening is the result of a management policy that consists of police raids. <br /><br /> “They form a circle (around the migrants) and sort people on the basis of their administrative situation. Sometimes, it’s racial profiling.”<br /><br /> The destruction of one of Europe’s largest migrant camps is coming to an end, with many people bussed off to other cities around France.<br /><br /> But the plight of hundreds of minors remains uncertain.<br /><br /> Some reports say about 1500 young people are living in temporary lodgings in container boxes.<br /><br /> Hundreds of adult migrants are also said to have avoided the official processing.<br />
