A photographer claims he was attacked after being pointed at by actress Margot Robbie.

In the papers, the 61-year-old photographer says: “Ms Robbie – who I could identify – touched the shoulder of one of her security personnel and indicated with her finger towards me.
“It was then that several people began to beat me up and the chase began.
“I felt that they managed to hit me and I got knocked down to the pavement with such speed that if I had fallen headfirst they would have killed me.”
Orquera tried to take photos of Robbie and actress Cara Delevingne, 30, when they came out of a restaurant at 3 a.m. on Sunday.
His lawyer, Matias Morla, has now suggested Robbie could be charged.
“Pedro and other witnesses say that Margot pointed at him when she was behind the car and saw the photographer,” he told Britain’s The Sun newspaper.
“She sent them to hit him. She shares in the blame because she was directing them to the photographer.
“We are going to ask she become a defendant and co-participant.
“She should not be considered a witness but one of the defendants who has to give evidence.”
Josey McNamara, a film producer and business partner of Robbie, and Jac Hopkins, who worked on Robbie’s Barbie movie, were both arrested at the scene of the incident and spent Sunday in custody.
