According to the site, shortly after 11 p.m., the 22-year-old superstar shoved a much bigger man. As seen in the video, the unidentified man then lightly punched Bieber on the side of the head, so the singer came back with a hook to the man’s face. Several onlookers jumped in to break up the fight, and the “Sorry” singer was tackled to the ground.
