Justin Bieber is accused of assaulting a limo driver in Toronto. The assault reportedly occurred after the limo driver picked up a group of 6 people that included the 19-year-old pop singer from a nightclub.

In a statement, Toronto police said an altercation occurred between one of the passengers and the limo driver during a trip to a hotel. "In the course of the altercation, the driver was struck in the back of the head several times." By the time police arrived, the man who hit the driver had left the scene.

Bieber was charged with one count of assault after turning himself in to Toronto police. He is scheduled to appear in court on March 10.


This marks Justin's second arrest this week. He was previously arrested for DUI and drag racing in Miami last Thursday.
