Footage has emerged showing the moment a group of refugees armed with a knife attacked two journalists who were documenting their plight.

Maaike Engels was filming with her colleague Teun Voeten when he was pounced on by a three men who tried to steal his camera at the Jungle migrant camp in Calais.

Voeten is tackled to the ground as the camera keeps rolling for their new documentary ‘Calais: Welcome to the Jungle’.

The attack is quickly broken up by other refugees who throw stones at the young men.

A short chase ensues before the footage ends.

A video of the attack was uploaded to YouTube.

The description reads: ‘We were mugged by three refugees armed with pepper spray and a big knife.

‘Luckily, nothing happened and a few other migrants from the camp in Calais came to our rescue.’

After the incident, Engels wrote on her Facebook page: ‘Within every community, among the good ones, you’ll always find a couple of a**holes.

‘The Jungle is no exception. But I guess living under such deplorable conditions the less creative, intelligent and ambitious are very likely to become small criminals, because they’ve got nothing higher to aim at.’

Carrying knives is part of Ork culture and tradition, so we must respect it.
