WATCH: (Scroll Down For Video) Footage has emerged online showing migrants in Calais burning tents throughout the night as protests turn violent.

Migrants shouted ‘Fuck you’ and let off firecrackers in the direction of police while they attempted to fight eviction from the migrant camp.

Police deployed tear gas by riot police in an attempt to restore order.

Over 300 migrants refused to be evicted from their makeshift camp, despite the French government providing more-than adequate shelter for them.

The footage emerged on LiveLeak on Thursday.

Bulldozers moved in earlier this week to clear sections of the camp, which currently houses over 5,000 migrants set on entering Britain.

Over 300 migrants clashed with French riot police while trying to jump on British bound trucks.

Officers deployed tear gas to disperse the refugees gathering near the entrance of the Eurotunnel.

Police fear there will be more trouble as the attempts to evict the migrants intensify. 

Migrants have begun throwing rocks and stones at British-bound traffic in an attempt to slow down traffic so they can get aboard.
