Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has been charged with assault in connection with an alleged altercation with a limousine driver in Toronto last month.
The 19-year-old singer surrendered to Toronto Police 52 Division at around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Bundled in a black coat with faux-fur trim and wearing a blue baseball cap backwards on his head, Bieber was mobbed by media and fans as he stepped out of a black SUV and rushed into a side door of the downtown police station.
According to police, officers responded to a call in the early morning hours of Dec. 30 about an alleged assault in the Dundas Street West and University Avenue area.
A limo driver who had picked up six people at a nightclub at Peter Street and Adelaide Street West claimed he was struck several times in the head by one of the passengers during an altercation en route to a hotel.
The driver pulled over, exited his vehicle and waited for police. Police allege the suspect left the scene prior to the arrival of officers, Global news informs.
