THIS is the moment a photographer was allegedly floored by Margot Robbie‘s Brit pal after a row outside a restaurant.
After a row outside a restaurant, Pedro Alberto Orquera claimed that he was left with a fractured arm and lay on the ground bleeding from injuries.

The incident allegedly happened when Wolf of Wall Street star Margot, 32, and Brit model and actress Cara Delevingne left a Buenos Aires restaurant at 3am on Sunday.
Mr Orquera, 61, tried to take pictures as they got into an Uber.
Two British film-makers Josey McNamara (and Jac Hopkins) were arrested after a scuffle broke out.
Footage shows a man in black walking on the pavement while another man wearing a white top runs behind him.
After a brief chase, the black man appears to have been kicked twice or three times before he fell to the ground.
He barely misses being caught under a car at a crossing of the zebra.
In documents lodged with a city judge and prosecutors, Mr Orquera, stated: “Ms Robbie — who I could identify — touched the shoulder of one of her security personnel and indicated with her finger towards me.
The chase started when several people started to beat me up.
“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.”
His lawyer, Matias Morla, told Central Recorder last night that it was possible that Margot could be charged.
He said: “Pedro and other witnesses say that Margot pointed at him when she was behind the car and saw the photographer.
“She sent them to hit him. She was directing them towards the photographer and shares the blame.
“We are going ask her to be a co-participant and a defendant.
“She should not be considered a witness but one of the defendants who has to give evidence.”
Mr Orquera took photographs as Cara, 30, and Margot left the exclusive Patagonia Sur restaurant.
McNamara, a film producer and business partner of Margot, and Hopkins, a key grip on the Aussie star’s upcoming Barbie movie, were arrested at the scene.
They were held in detention for Sunday.
They covered their faces with rugs Monday morning as they were taken to the car for interviews by prosecutors.
In an interview from his hospital bed, Mr Orquera described the incident as a “brutal” and “cowardly” attack.
‘COWARDLY ATTACK’
He said: “They tried to take my camera to delete the pictures that I had taken.
“I started running away from them because 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.
“I was bleeding an awful lot. I was losing a lot of blood. In a few minutes the police arrived.”
Last night, it was not known whether Cara and Margot — who left the scene before police arrived — were still in Argentina.
McNamara and Hopkins are said to have told police Mr Orquera was “responsible for his own injuries” as no consent was given for photos.
Sources say that the photographer also ran away and fell by himself.
Margot’s reps were asked to comment.
