 When dozens of refugees tried to escape police officers at a Hungarian camp on Tuesday, one camerawoman decided to get involved. While she was filming a father, holding a child in his arms, she tripped both of them. 
 
 The scene at the camp, which you can watch in the video embedded on top of this post, was captured by a German correspondent. According to Hungarian news site 444.hu, the camerawoman worked for Hungarian broadcaster N1 and has since been fired. 
 
 On its Web site, the TV station posted a statement that read: "Today, a N1TV colleague behaved unacceptably at the Roeszke reception center. The cameraman's employment was terminated with immediate effect." The statement was signed by N1TV editor Szabolcs Kisber. On its Web site, the channel describes itself as being "fact-based" and "free of opinion." 
 
 According to an NBC News crew that was at the scene, hundreds of refugees were able to escape the camp, which is near the Hungarian-Serbian border, on Tuesday because of overcrowding. Tensions had risen for days, with many refugees trying to continue their journey to Germany and Austria but being stopped by local police. 
 
 Meanwhile, Twitter users condemned the camerawoman's behavior and demanded an apology from the TV station. Some said the incident was evidence that most Hungarian journalists and media outlets are in line with Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has taken a tough stance toward the influx of refugees.

 Reactions ranged from outrage to unbelief: British Iranian journalist Sanam Shantyaei called the scene "horrific," for instance, and others demanded that N1 should lay her off. Some users quickly pointed out that the camerawoman had been recorded tripping another fleeing refugee child.

 Hungarian news site 444.hu also featured the scene, as recorded from the perspective of the camerawoman itself. The video ends shortly before the two fleeing refugees fall to the ground.

 A camera operator for a Hungarian nationalist television channel closely linked to the country’s far-right Jobbik party has been filmed kicking two refugee children and tripping up a man at the border hotspot of Rőszke on Tuesday. 
 
 
 
 Petra László of N1TV was filming a group of refugees running away from police officers, when a man carrying a child in his arms ran in front of her. László stuck her leg out in front of the man, causing him to fall on the child he was carrying. He turned back and remonstrated with László, who continued filming. 
 
 A 20-second video of the scene was posted on Twitter by Stephan Richter, a reporter for the German television channel RTL and soon went viral, leading to the creation of a Facebook group “The Petra László Wall of Shame”. 
 
 Hungary’s leading news website Index had also caught László kicking a young girl and boy. 
 
 
 
 N1TV said László had been dismissed due to “unacceptable behaviour”. The channel’s editor in chief Szabolcs Kisberk said in a statement posted on the station’s website: “The camerawoman’s employment has today been terminated with immediate effect, the case is now closed for us.” 
 
 As well as speeches made by the Jobbik leader Gábor Vona, the channel’s website also contains articles with such headlines as “migrants have swarmed all over the shops” and “Guantanamo = Hungary?” 
 
 Hundreds of angry comments appeared on the Facebook group set up to condemn László’s actions on Tuesday evening. 
 
 
 
 Opposition parties Együtt-PM and the Democratic Coalition have said that they will initiate charges of violence against a member of the community, which is punishable by up to five years in prison, against László.
– A journalist working for a far-right TV station is out of a job after she was unable to resist her urge to become part of the story she was covering. The Hungarian camerawoman was filmed kicking and tripping refugees as they tried to get past police at an overcrowded camp in southern Hungary near the border with Serbia yesterday, the New York Times reports. A German journalist filmed Petra Laszlo of N1TV as she tripped a man carrying a young child, causing him to fall on the boy, the Guardian reports. Laszlo was also filmed kicking two children as they made their way past the police line. N1TV, which has close links to the far-right Jobbik party, says she has been let go for "unacceptable behavior." The Washington Post reports that many commentators describe her shocking behavior as more evidence that the Hungarian media is strongly biased in favor of Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has stepped up the construction of a border fence and says the influx of people needs to be blocked to "keep Europe Christian."
