Petra Laszlo, seen her in a blue shirt and jeans, just as she kicks a young girl refugee as she escapes a police cordon on the Hungary-Serbia border in September 2015 [Screen grab]
She will not serve time in prison.
Judge Illes Nanasi of the Szeged District Court in Hungary said that her actions were against societal norms.
She had claimed she had been trying to protect herself.
In one scene captured on camera, which later went viral, Laszlo is seen tripping a man carrying his daughter. The man and the girl are seen tumbling down on the ground.
In another incident, she is seen kicking two young women as they escape a police cordon on the Hungary-Serbia border.
Laszlo was filming for the N1TV Hungarian network the rush of refugees last year before authorities in most European countries set up barricades, barbed wire and clamped down on their movements.
N1TV fired her after the footage went viral.
In October 2016, a referendum in Hungary to reject the European Union’s quota allocation for the resettlement of refugees was considered invalid because of low voter turnout.
