British police were forced to intervene on Saturday to contain a riot at the Harmondsworth migrant detention center in west London, the origin of which remains unclear.
At the moment there are no reports of injuries in the incident but the center has been without electricity since 09.00 am, according to the police.
The British Home Office has been forced to rectify an initial information in which it assured that «a group of detainees came out of their rooms» and entered «armed» in an area of the courtyard.
Police, Fire and Prison services are at the scene, according to Sky News.
The incident comes a week after a man died after throwing Molotov cocktails at a migrant center in the British port of Dover.
