Justin Bieber Accused of Battery on Paparazzi

This is what Bieber gets for hanging out with that punk Floyd Mayweather, thug life baby!

BTW, I'm just joking, Floyd is a thug, but the paparazzi are scum. Good for Biebs, he was just trying to enjoy his date.

Justin Bieber
Battery Suspect


Exclusive

Justin Bieber is a suspect in a criminal battery ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Justin was in Calabasas, where he lives, just after noon Sunday at a mall called The Commons. A paparazzo attempted to take Justin's picture and, according to law enforcement, some sort of physical altercation erupted between Justin and the camera guy.

The photog called 911, and when cops arrived Justin and GF Selena Gomez had already split.

The photog complained of pain to his upper torso, an ambulance was summoned and he was taken to a local hospital where he was examined and released a short time later.

The photog filed a police report naming Justin as the culprit. Cops are investigating the incident as a misdemeanor battery.

Law enforcement tells us detectives want to speak with Justin, Selena and any other witnesses.

We placed a call to Justin's rep ... so far, no comment.



We're told several witnesses at the scene say after the altercation, a lawyer walked up to the photog and said he could get a lot of money out of the incident and advised the dude to call for an ambulance and file a police report.

Witnesses also say the photog had been blocking Justin's car as the singer was trying to leave. Justin got out of the car and asked the guy to move away but he wouldn't, and a scuffle ensued.

Actually Beebs was working out with Mike Tyson last week, so we should probably blame him before Mayweather, but it's funny that the guy who he supposedly beat up kinda looks like Manny Pacquiao!

What's with those socks?

Maybe I am getting old, but he is dressed like a clown The striped socks, bright purple shoes...seriously?

And hasn't the pants below your butt trend left yet? And the pockets lined with dollar bills. Selena must be blind, I would be embarrassed to be seen with someone dressed like that!

As you can guess I am not very fashionable

It's weird, but at least he stood up for what is right. I hate paparazzi, they follow me everywhere so I know how he feels.

Sounds like the paparazzi wasn't even really hurt and only decided to press charges after the lawyer advised him that he could get a lot of money out of Bieber. That photographer is nothing but a parasite.
