MADRID—More than 100 African men used grapples and threw stones at police as they tried to scale a high border fence and enter a tiny Spanish territory in North Africa in the middle of the night, authorities said Wednesday.

Two Spanish police officers were injured in the incident, which was the second attempt in three days by immigrants from Sub-Saharan African countries to enter Melilla illegally, Spanish authorities said in a statement.
