Justin Bieber ‘punches man in the face as he comes to the rescue of woman being assaulted at Coachella’
JUSTIN Bieber has punched a man in the face and thrown him against the wall while attending a Coachella party.
According to , the 24-year-old singer moved on him after he grabbed a woman by the throat and wouldn't let go.
Sources told the site that the Canadian star and a friend were enjoying a party on Saturday night at the Californian festival when the altercation took place.
Justin is reported to have been chatting with a group of people when a man walked in and saw a woman he appeared to recognise.
TMZ reports that the man - who onlookers suggested was on drugs - quickly became angry.
He then proceeded to grab the woman, who may have been his ex-girlfriend, by the throat and would not let go.
Justin and his friend are said to have screamed at him to release her, but the man said: "Go f*** yourself".
The singer is then reported to have hit him in the face and slammed him against the wall so the woman could escape.
Shortly afterwards the man is believed to have been evicted from the party and was arrested later in the evening when he chased a car believing Justin was inside.
At another point in the evening the star was snapped hanging out with rapper Post Malone and band Migos.
The news of Bieber's altercation came in the same evening as Beyonce suffered a wardrobe malfunction as her costume nearly fell off during an energetic performance.
She was seen hitching her costume up as she welcomed Destiny's Child to the stage.
The singer was forced to perform a number of moves one-handed while she danced to Soldier and Independent Women with Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.
Her stunning outfits for the festival appearance were designed by the creative director of Balmain, Olivier Rousteing.
