A celebrity magazine photographer has accused Diego Maradona of kicking him in the groin, filing a police complaint against the Argentine great.

"Gente" magazine photographer Enrique Medina said the attack happened outside Maradona's father's house on Sunday night in Buenos Aires as he waited to take a picture of the 1986 World Cup winner.

Medina said on Monday that Maradona ran at him "like he was taking a free kick" and kicked him so hard in the groin and upper leg area that he "doubled over in pain."

"This wasn't the kick of an ordinary person," Medina said. "This is from someone used to kicking ... He seemed very angry, out of his mind. Like something had happened in his father's house."
