A migrant carrying a child falls over a television camerawoman while running away from police in Roszke, Hungary, on Tuesday, September 8. The camerawoman was later fired by her employer after video showed that she tripped the migrant, the New York Times reported. Hundreds of migrants -- mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan -- burst through police lines in Roszke after complaining about conditions at a holding camp and not knowing what would happen to them. Many of the migrants are afraid they will get stuck in Hungary and not be able to travel to their preferred destinations in Western Europe.
