Chaos in Buenos Aires as police clash with Maradona fans over access to wake

Clashes erupted between Argentina police and thousands of Maradona fans who were lined up to see the casket of the soccer legend on Thursday, as authorities moved to shut down access to the Casa Rosada presidential palace ahead of a planned 4pm local time closure for the public wake.

Water cannons were deployed, with riot police and others on motorbikes trying to hold back the crowd, desperate to pay respects to Maradona who died on Wednesday from a heart attack, aged 60.

Note: All the footage compiled is from live coverage made available from various Argentina partner newscasts.
