Police said a limo picked up a group of six outside a downtown nightclub at about 3 a.m. on December 30. As the driver headed for a hotel, an altercation ensued. The driver stopped the vehicle and called police after he was struck.
“The man who struck him left the scene before police arrived,” police said.
Bieber’s representatives will appear in Toronto’s Old City Hall court on March 10 to address the matter.

A source told the site that one of Bieber's bodyguards tried to stop the person from taking pictures and a "scruffle" ensued. The person who was taking the photographs eventually called police, but by the time that police arrived on the scene, Bieber and his entourage were gone.
