One local source told The Sun: "In my experience, as witnesses Cara and Margot will have to give evidence before the prosecutor.
"The only way they won’t have to go and give evidence is if they have already left the country.
";The prosecutor has declared that the investigation remain secret and she will want to talk to Cara and Margot as quickly as possible.
"She also ordered for there to be a police guard at the victim’s hospital room so that no one can approach him."
Pedro has now said he is preparing to file a lawsuit.
In an interview with The Sun from his hospital bed, the photographer described the incident as a "brutal attack" and "cowardly".
"They tried to take my camera to delete the pictures that I had taken," Pedro said.
"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."
The Hollywood stars had been entering the car when the incident occurred - and witnesses say Margot nearly fell out of the vehicle as the driver rushed to speed away.
Onlookers called 911 after watching the brawl - and Pedro was rushed to hospital.
