Clashes broke out between police and migrants at an asylum-seeker processing center in southern Germany on Saturday following the death of a Nigerian woman.
Police said they were attacked and harassed by residents of the facility after they arrived to investigate the 31-year-old Nigerian's death.
The incident took place at around 9 a.m. local time (0800 UTC) in the city of Regensburg, around 100 kilometers (62 miles) northeast of Munich.
Officers described an atmosphere of high emotion inside the facility as 40-50 asylum-seekers prevented them from recovering the woman's body.
At one stage police were pelted with stones and other objects, a police spokesman said.
A large-scale police operation was launched involving 20 patrol cars and 50 police officers, but no one was arrested.
The woman's body was only recovered around noon and taken to a funeral home.
An investigation has been launched into her death. Police said there was no initial evidence that she had been attacked.
