Home Secretary Amber Rudd issued a statement after the attack, calling it: ‘extremely concerning’.
She added: ‘It’s vital that people feel safe when using the Channel ports. This shows just how it is in all our interests to combat attempts to enter the UK illegally.’
This new development puts the lives of thousands of British families using ferries and the Channel Tunnel at risk as they return from their summer holidays.
