A Hungarian camerawoman who caused global outrage after being caught on film tripping and kicking asylum seekers as they fled police is planning to sue one of the asylum seekers, reports say.

In an interview with Russian news outlet Izvestia, Petra Laszlo said one of the asylum seekers had already fallen before reaching her outstretched leg.

She said the Syrian man had changed his testimony after initially blaming police and she wanted her name cleared.

Laszlo also reportedly said she planned to sue Facebook for refusing to take down threatening accounts while deleting groups that supported her.

She is facing charges in Hungary for breach of peace.

Laszlo had earlier apologised after footage released in September showed her tripping a man running with a child in his arms and kicking another running child near the town of Roszke, close to the border with Serbia.
