BERLIN (Reuters) - There is a risk of violence among asylum seekers getting out of hand at accommodation centres in Germany, the country's police union chief said on Friday in remarks reflecting growing concern over a record refugee influx.

More than 200,000 migrants are estimated to have arrived in Germany in September alone -- roughly the same as for the whole of last year -- and the government estimates that 800,000 or more could come over the course of 2015.
