A Syrian refugee who was tripped last week by a Hungarian journalist,prompting a wave of outrage at the reporter, arrived late Wednesday in Spain, where he has been offered accommodations and a job by a soccer school in Madrid.
After he was knocked to the ground near Hungary’s border with Serbia last week by Petra Laszlo, a camerawoman covering the migrant crisis for a right-wing news site, Syrians identified the man as Osama Abdul Mohsen,a professional soccer coach from the eastern province of Deir al-Zour fleeing war and repression.

The school used its annual budget for publicity to rent an apartment for the family in the Madrid suburb of Getafe.
Mr. Mohsen was accompanied on the train journey to Spain by two of his sons — Zaid, 7, and Mohmmad, 18 — as well as a reporter for El Mundo,Martín Mucha, and a student at the training center who speaks Arabic.
The case has attracted so much attention that Spanish television broadcast live images of the group’s arrival in Barcelona, where they changed trains, and then in Madrid just after midnight.
Luis Miguel Pedraza, a former referee who works at the training center,told The Associated Press that the school would help Mr. Mohsen apply for asylum and get permission to bring his wife and two more children from Turkey.
“As soon as he learns Spanish,” Mr. Galán told El País, “we plan to offer him a job at our organization.”
In a video interview posted on El Mundo’s website, Mr. Mohsen expressed his gratitude and said, in English, “I see a future for my family in Spain.”
