San Diego (KGTV) — Dramatic video shows dozens of migrants breaching the U.S.-Mexico border in southern San Diego.
The incident happened at Border Field State Park Thursday afternoon.
Several videos posted on social media capture the throngs of people stream through the border.
“It’s crazy; I didn’t know this could happen on livestream,” said Andy Martin, a YouTuber who filmed the breach up close .
In Martin’s video, a crowd of people is seen gathering next to a fence before an individual appears to cut it open with a pair of scissors.
“Then people just started running through,“ said Martin. “The Border Patrol guy had to call for backup.”
Border Patrol officials said two groups rushed the border simultaneously from different ends of Border Field State Park.
Officials said 53 people were arrested for crossing illegally.
Customs and Border Protection officials said they do not believe anyone got away.
