Justin Bieber has been filmed appearing to punch a man who reached into the pop star’s car in Barcelona following a show in the capital city. Footage of the incident shows the 22-year-old musician respond when a man tries to touch him through the open window of his moving vehicle.

The video, posted online by the celebrity news website TMZ, shows the man turn to the camera to reveal a bloodied mouth.



Bieber performed in the Spanish city on 22 November as part of the European leg of his global Purpose world tour.

Last month, the Canadian star left the stage during a concert in Manchester after complaining about “screaming” fans. He returned to continue his performance, saying he was “going to quit talking” for the rest of the show.

Bieber has yet to respond to the released video footage. A representative for the star was contacted by the Guardian but had no further information.
