Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has injured a paparazzo photographer by clipping them with his car after leaving a church in Beverly Hills.

In footage obtained by TMZ, Bieber is pictured getting into a large SUV and slowly driving away. As he turns out of a driveway, a photographer is caught by the wide tyres of the vehicle and brought to the ground.

Bieber is then filmed attending to the injured man, who was taken away in an ambulance with his leg strapped up. The singer also spoke to police and was not charged.

Earlier this week, Bieber cancelled the final 14 concerts on his Purpose world tour. After performing 150 shows in 40 countries, the singer’s manager Scooter Braun said: “A man’s soul and well-being I truly care about came first, and we must all respect and honour that.” Bieber apologised for cancelling the concerts and said: “Everything’s fine. I’ve been on tour for two years … [I’m] just resting, getting some relaxation – we’re gonna ride some bikes.”
