A  camerawoman is seen tripping a man carrying a child in his arms as police raid the camp in Roszke.


The video has already generated many angry responses on social media. The woman, later named as Petra Laszlo, has since been fired.


Footage of the incident from the camerawoman's perspective later appeared on N1TV, an internet-based TV station.


N1TV's editor-in-chief Szabolcs Kisberk later issued a statement on the channel's Facebook page responding to the incident. 


"An N1TV colleague today behaved in an unacceptable way at the Roszke collection point. The camerawoman's employment contract has been terminated with immediate effect as of today, we consider the matter closed," it read.


The scenes took place as hundreds of migrants broke through a police line at a collection point close to the Serbian border where thousands have been crossing over each day for the past month.


Watch the video that has since sparked debates on social media below.

In a separate incident the same female journalist appears to be kicking two different refugees as they run from the police.
