AFP, BUDAPEST

A Hungarian camerawoman who caused global outrage after being caught on film tripping and kicking refugees as they fled police apologised yesterday and said that she has received death threats. "I panicked. I'm not a heartless, child-kicking racist camera-person," Petra Laszlo wrote in a letter to Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet published on its website. "As I watch the footage now, it's like I'm not watching myself. I honestly regret what I have done and take responsibility for it." Laszlo was detained for questioning by police on Thursday and later released.
