A migrant wielding a knife threatened to kill his fellow passengers while trying to board a dinghy to Britain.
The man, who has not been identified, dropped the weapon into the sea and then clambered aboard the small boat in northern France as it sailed away on Friday morning.
It is unclear whether he has since arrived in Britain.
ILLEGAL MIGRANT PULLS LARGE KNIFE ON SMUGGLER BOAT BOUND FOR BRITAIN!
Hardelot-Plage, France | 30 October 2026
Extraordinary footage I captured this morning on the French coast.
An illegal migrant attempting to board a smuggler’s boat heading for Britain became embroiled in a furious confrontation with a smuggler already on board.
What happened next was staggering.
The migrant pulled out a large knife, approximately 6 to 7 inches long, and appeared to prepare to stab the man on the boat.
But as he drew his arm back, he DROPPED THE KNIFE INTO THE WATER before he could strike.
And here’s the astonishing part.
Despite everything that had just happened, he subsequently managed to climb aboard the very same boat.
A man pulls a large knife, appears ready to stab someone, loses his weapon and then boards a boat bound for Britain.
All captured on camera.
Watch the footage. Draw your own conclusions.
This man is now most likely in the UK!
