Police have evicted more than a thousand people from a makeshift migrant camp in Paris, the third time the camp has been cleared in as many months.

The migrants, who had been sleeping in cramped tents under a bridge near Stalingrad metro station, were ordered to board buses which would take them to reception centres.

Police officials said the eviction took place without incident, though one image of the scene showed three officers dragging a migrant away in a headlock.
