Bieber charged with assault

Pop singer Justin Bieber faces new charges after being arrested for dangerous driving and assault following a collision between a minivan and a quad bike that led to a physical altercation.

Ontario Provincial Police said the incident happened on Friday afternoon near the Canadian pop star’s hometown of Stratford and that Bieber was released on a promise to appear in court on September 29.

They said the driver of the quad bike and an occupant of the minivan “engaged in a physical altercation”.

Bieber, 20, went to a police station and was arrested, then released on a promise to appear in court on September 29, a spokesman for Perth County OPP said.

Constable Kees Wijnands said there were no injuries as a result of the collision.

Earlier this month, Bieber pleaded guilty to misdemeanour charges of careless driving and resisting arrest.
