Justin Bieber Caught On Camera Punching A Fan

#1

Currently touring through Spain, Bieber can be seen in the back of a car, driving slowly through hordes of his fans. While one of them reaches through the window to touch him, he responds by throwing a punch.

New video footage appears to show the 22-year-old Canadian pop star hit the male through the open window of his car as he was driven by a chauffeur to the city's Palau Sant Jordi for the latest stop on his Purpose tour.

The enthusiastic fan can be seen reaching out to touch the singer while the car rolls past at slow speed, but Justin reacts with a jab that makes contact with his face.

The Spanish news outlet that captured the images said the boy was a minor and had told regional Mossos d'Esquadra officers who turned up moments later that he was not sure whether to report Bieber over his actions or put the incident behind him.

A spokesman for the Mossos d'Esquadra confirmed: 'What's occurred here is what would be considered a misdemeanor rather than a crime.

'For a crime of assault to have occurred, the victim would have needed medical attention more than once. The footage shows there's been no sustained attack.'

'As we're talking about a misdemeanor rather than a serious crime, we haven't got the power to act off our own backs and so we're not actively investigating this.'

'This is an incident that occurred between two people and the person who received the punch or push will have to make a formal complaint if he wants to take the matter any further.'

'He can do that at a police station or the local court.'

'If he registers a complaint with police, we will simply pass that on to the relevant court so they can decide whether to take further action.'

'At the moment we're not aware the male fan has registered a formal complaint.'

The incident is the latest in a string of issues for the pop star, who famously got into an altercation with Orlando Bloom in the summer of 2014.

Justin and Orlando were with respective groups of friends at Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza before Troy star Orlando attempted to throw a punch at him.

But back to the current situation, as the car drives away, the man is seen touching mouth in apparent shock before turning to face the camera and showing his bloodied lip.

A group of girls standing in his vicinity appear to be equally shocked as they notice that he is bleeding.

He is then seen spitting out some of the blood as his hand hovers over his mouth.

#9

The fan, quite frankly, looks like he can't decide whether to be delighted or appalled, as he turns to the camera to show his bloodied face. One of the ladies in the background is certainly amused by the situation.

It's at this point that the fan flies into a rage. I'm pretty sure you know what he is about to say.

#11

While it's not exactly cool to lean into someone's car window and grab them, Bieber probably shouldn't be punching his fans. Maybe just keep the window closed next time?
