Police have accidentally fired tear gas into a Turkish school during a clash with residents of a shanty town near Istanbul, a private television station reported.

About 10 children and a four-month-old baby were hospitalised after suffering the effects of the tear gas, NTV reported.

Television footage showed dozens of children fainting, crying and wiping their eyes after the tear gas canister was set off in a building of their school.

Parents were seen carrying children out of the building. At least one woman fainted on the school steps.
