Remember the Hungarian camerawoman who was filmed kicking and tripping a Syrian refugee carrying his young son?


The shocking footage caused outrage around the world and journalist, Petra Laszlo, was summarily fired from her job at the Hungarian channel N1. She also faces criminal charges over kicking refugees as they ran from police.


Now, here's what's new and well, bizarre. The journalist has said that once the trial is over she plans on suing one of the refugees she kicked, as well as Facebook, for damages.


The Independent quoting a Russian language newspaper Izvestia, said Laszlo wants to sue the Syrian man for changing his testimony blaming her, though he initially blamed the police.


The journalist can be clearly seen kicking Mohsen in several different videos that were uploaded to social media. She later apologised for her behaviour.


Lazlo will be suing Facebook for allegedly refusing to shut down hate groups set up targeting her.


In the interview, the journalist added that she wants to relocate her family to Russia, where she thinks she would feel safer.


Mohsen and two of his sons are now living in Spain, where Mohsen has been able to resume work as a professional football coach.
