Warsaw has increased the number of security forces on the border to repel the migrants and has also brought in special equipment including water cannon.
The migrant crisis comes amid escalating tensions between the EU and Belarus. Brussels has accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of orchestrating the migrant flow as part of a 'hybrid war' designed to put pressure on the bloc over sanctions. Minsk has denied the allegations.
Poland last month strengthened border patrols on the frontier with Belarus and put up a barbed-wire fence in place in an attempt to stem the flow.
