Hungary: Camerawoman who kicked refugees charged with disorderly conduct
Hungarian camerawoman Petra Laszlo who was filmed kicking and tripping refugees fleeing police during the heat of migrant crisis in Europe has been charged with disorderly conduct.

Laszlo was charged on Wednesday for disorderly conduct after “she kicked a young man in the shin with a swift kick of the sole of her right foot, and also kicked a young girl around the knee with her right foot”, prosecutors said in a statement, according to Reuters news agency.

Prosecutors also said Laszlo had “kicked toward a man carrying a child in his hands, but the kick did not reach the man”, in one of the accusations she had faced during last year’s online uproar.

“The man carrying the child still fell, because… one of the policemen tried to catch and restrain him, and he lost his balance as he broke free.”
