A camerawoman for a Hungarian TV news channel was fired after a video appeared to show her tripping an asylum seeker carrying a child as he was running from police officers in Hungary on Tuesday.

The video, published on Twitter, shows several journalists filming police officers chasing a crowd of hundreds of asylum seekers as they break out of a registration camp near the village of Roszke. Toward the end of the video, the camerawoman appears to trip an asylum seeker, who is carrying a child.

Another video appeared to show the same woman kicking at two asylum seekers as they run from the police.

After the video prompted many angry responses on social media, Hungary's N1 TV channel, the camerawoman's employer, released a statement on Facebook calling her behavior unacceptable and saying it considers the matter closed after she was let go, Business Insider reported.

Hungary's inconsistent reception near the border village of Roszke has left many hundreds waiting for buses that arrive too infrequently, leaving large numbers stranded at night. Officers have found it increasingly difficult to keep them within a designated field. Some have pushed through police lines and walk north deeper into Hungary, while others head south back to Serbia where camps are sometimes better organized.

On Monday, a few hundred people broke through police lines near Roszke and, despite being hit with pepper spray, made it onto the main highway linking Serbia with Budapest. It happened again Tuesday night following a day of scuffles with officers in which one man was injured amid a stampede.

"We've been here for two days, and the Hungarian government only brings one bus?" said a Syrian man, who gave only his first name, Ali. "We're asking to go back to Serbia and they are not giving us this right. We're asking to go to Budapest and they are not giving us this right. Why? Why?"

Leaders of the United Nations refugee agency warned Tuesday that Hungary faces a bigger wave of 42,000 asylum seekers in the next 10 days and will need international help to provide shelter on its border.
