Controversial Diego Maradona in row with plane passenger over diet supplement

Argentine football coach Diego Maradona reportedly fought with a passenger on the flight to Buenos Aires who offered him a diet supplement.

The controversial football legend also assaulted photographers and later hurled stones at journalists, the Mirror reports.

The mushrooming Maradona had asked his bodyguards to 'walk and elbow' photographers while leaving through customs with new girlfriend Rocio Oliva.

According to the report, journalists too suffered Maradona's rage as he hit them with stones and angrily jumped out of his car.

Maradona's chaotic return to Argentina also saw him spending time with his ex-girlfriend Veronica Ojeda and their three-month-old son Diego even as a passenger on his flight from Dubai accused him of being drunk and assaulting him.

Maradona had served a jail sentence in 1994 on grounds of shooting reporters with an air rifle, the report added.
