BERLIN (AP) – The Latest on European efforts to deal with the influx of migrants (all times local):

4:55 p.m.

Migrants living in an unofficial camp on Greece’s northern border with Macedonia have briefly clashed with police after a camp resident was injured, allegedly by a police van.

Greek riot police dispersed dozens of protesting migrants who had earlier attacked the vehicle with stones at the Idomeni camp of around 10,000 people. No injuries or arrests were reported.

Greek authorities say a Syrian refugee was taken to a hospital Monday with injuries, but their extent and precise causes were unclear. Migrants on the scene said he was hit by the van.
