Yesterday Justin Bieber was charged with assaulting a limousine driver in Toronto. The assault occurred a month ago.
The alleged incident happened after the limo driver picked up a group of six people outside a Toronto nightclub just before 3 a.m. on December 30, according to a police statement.
“While driving the group to a hotel, an altercation occurred between one of the passengers and the driver of the limousine,” the police statement said. “In the course of the altercation, a man struck the limousine driver on the back of the head several times. The driver stopped the limousine, exited the vehicle and called police.”
Biebs is set to appear in a Toronto court on March 10, police said.
His rep sent a written statement to CNN as the singer was inside the police station.
“The Toronto Police Service requested that Justin Bieber appear in Toronto today to face an allegation of assault relating to an incident on December 29, 2013,” the statement said. “We anticipate that this matter will be treated as a summary offense, the equivalent of a misdemeanor in the United States.”
“Our position is that Mr. Bieber is innocent,” the representative said. “As the matter is now before the court, it would be inappropriate to address the specifics of either the allegation or of our defense at this time.”
Hmmm… at just 19, I think everyone just needs to back off this kid a bit.
