The migrants were said to have attacked a coastguard during an attempt to prevent them from setting off from the coast of the central city of Sfax, Tunisia's main departure point for Italy.
"When they were surrounded, the migrants threw stones at the coastguards and seized a small boat aboard which they found a security agent whose hands they later tied," Hichem Ben Ayyad, spokesman for the Sfax governorate court, told the media.
The migrants "also pushed another security agent into the sea after injuring him in the chest with a sharp object," he said, adding that "his condition is stable".
