They were met in the city by volunteers offering them bread, fruits, water, and other necessary food. Railway station workers say 350 refugees have entered Vienna today. Austrian police expect 10,000 Syrian refugees to cross from the Hungarian border during the day, TASS reported.

The Austrian leadership uses two trains to carry the refugees. Another group of refugees — 450 people — are moving towards Saltsburg. Most of them seek to cross to Germany afterwards.

Another 4,000 migrants left Budapest Friday morning without waiting for the train meant to carry them to Germany. In the evening, the Hungarian government decided to bring 100 buses to carry them. The migrants crossed the border in the early morning.
