Astonishing moment when a Hungarian camerawoman deliberately tripped migrants fleeing police, including a father carrying his terrified young child as she now faces a criminal investigation.
A camerawoman, Petra Laszlo, who worked for Hungarian news site, N1TV, which is run by the anti-immigration far-right, Jobbik Party, was caught on video kicking and tripping over migrants as they escaped from police, she has been sacked and could face a criminal investigation.
She was filming Syrian refugees as they fled across a field on the Hungarian-Serbian border. The shocking footage showed her deliberately sticking her leg out as a desperate man carrying a crying child ran past her at holding area in Roszke.
The clip showed the refugee falling to the floor with the child underneath him before he turned to shout at her.
Laszlo was sacked with immediate effect after the TV station saw the footage online. A statement posted on the station's website read:
'Today, a N1TV colleague behaved unacceptably at the Roszke reception centre. The cameraman's employment was terminated with immediate effect.'
Outraged social media users took to Twitter and set a Facebook group called 'The Petra Laszlo Wall Of Shame' to condemn her actions, labelling her 'pathetic' and 'disgraceful'.
