Maradona, 52, currently living in Dubai despite being sacked by Al Wasl last year, was with his 22-year-old girlfriend Rocio Oliva.

A photographer told La Red Radio: 'On the way, in heavy rain, Maradona made the car stop, got out with a Havana cigar in his hand, took some stones from the edge of the highway and started throwing them at reporters’ cars and kicked a photographer’s leg.'

He was also accused of fighting with a passenger who had offered him a diet supplement.

Nicolas Infantidis asked a steward to take some over to Maradona on the aeroplane and upon landing revealed to the icon that it was him who had sent them.

Airport security dived in to calm things down after Maradona grabbed his fellow passenger.

Maradona's spokesman told The Sun: 'Diego's is experiencing some personal problems at the moment and I hope he will soon be able to resolve them in a favorable way.'
