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 Roeszke 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.

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.

Attempting to trip a terrified little girl as she clings to her father's hand, tripping a man who is cradling his toddler...why?

I understand that in the heat of the moment a physical reflexes could kick in, and anyone of us could do something that we would later regret, but that isn't what happened. She didn't do it once, she did it twice.

She is a reporter, not the story. She should be observing not interfering in the most cowardly way imaginable.
