A Hungarian TV camera operator has been let go after she was filmed kicking and tripping refugees, including children, as they tried to run away from police at a Hungarian border town.
Media outlets in Hungary and elsewhere have identified the woman as Petra Laszlo. In a video shot by another journalist, she is seen sticking her leg in front of a refugee man carrying a child and causing him to trip as he tried to evade police.
