Justin Bieber has left a
fan with a split and bloodied lip after throwing a punch at him while arriving
for his concert in Barcelona.
New video footage
appears to show the 22-year-old Canadian pop star hit the male through the open
window of his car as he was driven by a chauffeur to the city's Palau Sant
Jordi for latest stop on his Purpose tour.
The enthusiastic fan can
be seen reaching out to touch the singer while the car rolls past at slow
speed, but Justin reacts with a jab that makes contact with his face.

A group of girls
standing in his vicinity appear to be equally shocked as they notice that he is
bleeding.
He is then seen spitting
out some of the blood as his hand hovers over his mouth.
A representative for
Justin Bieber has been contacted by Be Informed for comment.
Europa Press report that the
boy was a minor and while police confirmed they were not investigating the
incident, but the victim could make a formal complaint.
They said that the boy
had told Mossos d'Esquadra officers he wasn't sure whether to report
Bieber over his actions or put the incident behind him.
According to our correspondent: A
spokesman for the Mossos d'Esquadra said: 'What's occurred here is what would
be considered a misdemeanour rather than a crime.
'For a crime of assault
to have occurred, the victim would have needed medical attention more than
once.
'The footage shows
there's been no sustained attack.'

| Point of contact: As the fan followed the car,
while still touching the star, Justin's hand was seen jabbing at him before he was
whisked away to the concert venue |
 |
| Bloodied: The fan, who had reached his hand inside the car and was touching the star, was seen walking away from the Justin's vehicle sporting a bloodied lip |
The incident is the
latest in a string of issues for the pop star, who famously got into an
altercation with Orlando Bloom in the summer of 2014.
Justin and Orlando were
with respective groups of friends at Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza before Troy
star Orlando attempted to throw a punch at him.
The incident occurred
after Orlando's dining partner Leonardo DiCaprio had proceeded to shoo away the
pop singer with his hand, leading Justin to provoke a fight which saw Orlando
jump over a sofa to get at the star.

| Surrounded: A group of females gathered around the man, who still appeared to be in shock |
 |
| Disbelief: The man turned to face the camera, showing just how bloodied his lip was |
 |
Fury: He then went from
shock to apparent fury as he addressed cameras after the incident
|

 |
| The bloody lip: Checking the blood coming off his hands, fan was surrounded by friends |
The two men met by
chance at the Spanish eatery - where Lindsay Lohan and Sean 'Diddy' Combs were
also dining - but appear to have a common connection in Orlando's estranged
wife Miranda Kerr.
Miranda - who recently
got engaged to Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel - is also the mother of Orlando's
three-year-old son, Flynn.
One version of the event
heard that Justin told Orlando he had slept with Miranda, whom he first met at
a Victoria's Secret show in 2012, which prompted him to hit the singer.
