A migrant father who was tripped by a Hungarian camerawoman while holding his son is to start a new life in Spain.

Osama Abdul Mohsen fell while running across the Serbia-Hungary border last week. The camerawoman, Petra Laszlo, was fired and later apologised.

Mohsen, who coached a football team in Syria, will now work at a sports school near Madrid.

"The future will be very good for my son in Spain," Mohsen told El Mundo newspaper (in Spanish).

He said he and his seven-year-old son Zaid had endured a difficult journey to Europe, after meeting with another son, Mohammad, who had already reached Europe by boat. He said he was then threatened with jail by Hungarian authorities.

Miguel Angel Galan, the director of the Cenafe football school in Getafe, near Madrid, said officials had decided to "help a fellow coach".

Spain has agreed to take in 17,000 refugees this year.
