Cara Delevingne and Margot Robbie could be questioned by Argentinian authorities after they found themselves at the centre of a “brutal” bust-up with a paparazzi photographer in Buenos Aires.
The model, 30, and actress, 32, were leaving a restaurant at 3am on Sunday morning, when a photographer crowded the Suicide Squad co-stars and their friends to take photos.

Hide AdThe paparazzo, named Pedro Alberto Orquera, is accusing the Hollywood stars and their friends, British filmmakers Josey McNamara and Jac Hopkins, of assaulting him and breaking his arm.
However, in light of the scuffle, both sides have given differing versions of the story that ultimately ended with Orquera in hospital.
Sources close to Delevingne and Robbie informed TMZ that the parazzo allegedly “rushed” the stars while they were trying to get into an Uber outside the restaurant.
As a result of Orquera’s actions, the driver got scared and began to pull off as Robbie was “half-way in and half-way out” of the moving vehicle.

The sources continued to claim that the photographer was the aggressor in the incident and injured himself when he “fell over” on his own accord.
The original TMZ article was posted shortly after the claims began to surface on Sunday (2 October) and has since been updated to suggest that video footage had been obtained showing the pap falling over after he was allegedly being chased.
However, The Sun reported on Monday (3 October) that Orquera had fallen to the ground suffering the injury after a “brief struggle” with Josey McNamara and Jac Hopkins.

Hide AdThe paparazzo said: “They tried to take my camera to delete the pictures I had taken. I started running away from them as they were hitting me.
“While I was running from them they kicked me hard so my camera went up in the air and I fell on the floor and injured my arm.”
Orqeura added that he had lost a lot of blood and was worried about losing mobility in his arm after coming to the realisation that he was in need of surgery.
The two British filmmakers, who worked with Margot on the upcoming Barbie movie, were allegedly held in custody in the La Boca area of the country’s capital.
