A photographer is suing Justin Bieber for allegedly delivering a “martial arts-type kick” to his stomach after he took photos of the star on a date with then-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
Jose Osmin Hernandez Duran claims when he was shooting the couple last year at the Commons, an upscale shopping and dining complex in Calabasas, the 19-year-old singer became frustrated at the photographers, jumped out of his new Mercedes and “delivered a martial arts-type kick … in the lower rib cage on the left side of his abdomen,” according to TMZ.
The lawsuit cites several alleged misdeeds by the star, including assaulting a former bodyguard, bullying a woman, driving at reckless speeds, stealing a photographer’s SIM card and threatening to kill a neighbor, TMZ reported.
