The "Baby" singer was in town to launch his new cologne, Someday, in the chain's Herald Square location. The incident occurred when Bieber temporarily left the store to greet fans who were not invited inside.

The Canadian superstar was not seriously injured, though he appeared to be very "shaken up" by the incident, according to one eyewitness.
When the undercover cop finally identified himself, he cited one of Bieber's security team members for disorderly conduct.

4This story confused me. Why did he tackle him?
Darn i hoped the cop whooped his punk ass
Wait, why did the cop site the security team member for disorderly conduct when he was the one that jumped Beiber for no reason? Besides if the fans were out of control why jump him? This idiot had an alterior motive, it doesn't make any sense.
What I read originally was that the cop broke the law!! Bieber has his own security team so some undercover cop shouldnâ??t try to get his own 15 minutes. Its sad how cops can get away with anything these daysâ?¦
