More than 500 people crossed the English Channel in small boats on Wednesday, according to the Home Office.
Ten boats were intercepted making the crossing from France with 514 migrants on board – the highest daily total so far this year.
It brings this year’s Channel crossings figure to 4,043 people – which is higher than the equivalent period last year (3,683).
One man was found with stab wounds after the arrival of one of the boats at Dover Western Docks on Wednesday, Kent Police said.
