Two filmmaker friends of Hollywood stars Margot Robbie and Cara Delevingne were spotted being led out of prison after being arrested for assaulting a paparazzo over the weekend.
Photos show British film producer Josey MacNamara and key grab Jac Hopkins being led by a group of officers from a Buenos Aires police station after spending the night in custody.
The couple had thrown coats over their heads to protect their faces, and were led by police to a waiting car which took them away.
Hopkins and MacNamara were arrested after allegedly assaulting photographer Pedro Alberto Orquera after seeing him take photos of Robbie and Delevingne eating at a famous Buenos Aires restaurant in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The pair reportedly chased Orquera outside the restaurant, then slammed him to the concrete before attempting to break his camera.
Orquera, who suffered several cuts and a broken arm in the attack, told the Argentine outlet TN he was able to protect his equipment and the precious shots he had taken, but at a considerable cost.

“I went through a brutal aggression… My life was saved by a miracle, I don’t know what would have happened if I had fallen with my head on the ground, with the speed with which those people were chasing me,” Orquera said.
‘They never took my stuff from me…when I fell to the ground’ [the camera] was destroyed, but I was able to salvage the equipment.’
MacNamara and Hopkins were arrested by police and taken for questioning after the act of aggression, while Robbie and Delevingne fled the scene.
Orquera, meanwhile, was placed in a neck brace and taken on a stretcher to the nearby Argerich Hospital in the Argentine capital, where he is still undergoing initial treatment and awaiting surgery on his badly fractured arm.
He told TN that his arm was seriously injured and it is unknown if he will regain full use of the limb.
“I have a cast on my right arm, my arm is very compromised and I don’t know if I will lose it,” he claimed.
According to TMZ however, a source said that Orquera was actually the aggressor, rushing the actresses as they climbed into an Uber, causing the driver to start freaking out while Robbie was only halfway through the car.
The source said Orquera continued to sniff while Robbie was on the ground after jumping from the moving car, and that he tripped and injured himself after running away when MacNamara and Hopkins came in to help.

The A-list actresses had gotten into a car in front of Argentine celebrity chef Francis Mallmann’s restaurant around 3 a.m. Sunday morning when the Orquera incident took place.
According to Orquera, his presence angered MacNamara and Hopkins, who chased him as he fled, eventually catching up and crashing him to the ground.
The impact of the fall shattered his right arm and he suffered a series of cuts.
“I started running from them because they beat me,” Orquera told The Sun. “When I ran away from them, they kicked me hard, so my camera went up in the air and I fell to the ground and injured my arm.”
Witnesses are said to have called emergency services when the argument broke out after it became clear that Orquera had suffered a nasty injury.
Meanwhile, the police took the British filmmakers in for questioning, after which they appeared in court on the orders of the Public Prosecution Service for inflicting ‘serious injuries’.
A police report seen by The sun shows that MacNamara and Hopkins told officers that Orquera was “responsible for his own injuries” because the two actresses had not given permission to be photographed.
Robbie and Delevingne, meanwhile, chose to leave the filmmakers behind and fly to southern Argentina a few hours after the attack.
Orquera plans to file a lawsuit against his attackers because the injuries he sustained as a result of their aggression prevent him from working.
‘The most unfortunate’ [about the attack] is that it makes me immobile, unable to work or move,’ Orquera said.
“I won’t be able to do any more work and I don’t know if I’ll get my arm back the way it should be.”
MailOnline has reached out to Robbie and Delevingne for comment on the alleged incident.

Margot Robbie was seen on the verge of tears as she left a house in West Hollywood in September, just hours after meeting Cara Delevingne in Los Angeles. It comes amid rumors that Delevingne is experiencing health issues after a string of absences from major events and erratic behavior
The starlets reportedly became close in 2016 when they worked on the DC comic-inspired Suicide Squad movie, in which Robbie, 32, gained significant fame for her portrayal of the feisty Harley Quinn, while Delevingne played a character called Enchantress.
The pair had traveled to Argentina after attending the fashion week events in Paris early last week, and Robbie was spotted in Argentina on Friday, stopping to snap photos with some fans.
The attack on Orquera during the starlets’ stay in Argentina comes less than a month after Robbie was pictured leaving her close friend’s West Hollywood home, seemingly in tears, amid rumors British supermodel Delevingne was struggling with health issues. .
Delevingne, 30, failed to show up at the launch of her fashion collection honoring the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, which was held in early September at the chic restaurant Saga in New York City’s financial district.
Also, Delevingne did not attend the Emmy Awards on September 13, where her castmates in the Only Murders in the Building series were nominated for a series of awards.
That’s what a source close to the Delevingne family told me The sun that the star was struggling and lately had “lit the candle on both sides.”
