Justin Bieber was attacked today while appearing at Macy’s Herald Square store in New York City to promote his new fragrance “Someday.”
The “Baby” singer was knocked to the ground, not by a screaming girl with Bieber fever, but by a man who jumped the baricade outside Macy’s.
Bieber was trying to greet fans outside the event that were not able to make it into Macy’s.
Justin was knocked down but was not hurt, although he was “shaken up” by the incident.
Justin has been doing a promotional tour all week in New York City.
**UPDATE**
TMZ has reported that this was all one BIG MISUNDERSTANDING and the dude Bieber went to blows with was a COP!
A member of Justin Bieber‘s personal security team was cited for disorderly conduct today after the singer had a frightening run-in with an undercover cop in NYC … but it was all one MAJOR misunderstanding.
Bieber was signing autographs outside of Macy’s when the crowd became unruly … and a plainclothes police officer rushed to help the singer.
Problem is — Bieber didn’t know the guy was a cop — so when the cop got close to Justin … Bieber got defensive thinking he was a crazy fan. A member of Bieber’s security team immediately grabbed the cop and tried to pull him away.
The cop quickly identified himself — and cited the security team member for disorderly conduct.
But this story has a happy ending … sources connected to the situation tell us both sides straightened everything out — and Bieber is still signing autographs inside the department store.
