A man has attacked a migrant centre with petrol bombs before killing himself, witnesses have claimed.

The attacker is said to have thrown the bombs with fireworks attached to them at a new British immigration border force centre in the Port of Dover.

Witnesses said the white man in a striped top drove up to the centre in a white Seat sports car.

He got out and threw three petrol bombs, one of which did not go off, a photographer told Reuters.

After the attack, the man tied an improvised noose around his neck attached to a metal pole and drove off, killing himself, they added.

Police arrived minutes after and cordoned off the area.

Local police and Britain’s interior ministry were not immediately available to comment.
