Justin Bieber jumped into action over the weekend coming to the defense of a woman who was being grabbed by the throat by a man. Sources told Entertainment Tonight that the singer “stepped in to stop a man who allegedly had his hands around a woman's neck." All of this went down during a Private Party at Coachella on Saturday night.
Coming to the rescue
An eyewitness said that Bieber “pushed the man in question and…ended up punching him in the face to protect this girl that was getting assaulted.” The altercation began because there was an argument between “the gentleman who got punched and [the woman] because she was making out with this other guy and that argument escalated to the point where he had his hands around her neck.”
This is the point where Bieber jumped in to save the day.
According to Page Six, Bieber “pushed him against the wall so she could break free.”
Subsequently, security and the homeowner threw the man out of the party. Bieber was reportedly in attendance with close friend Patrick Schwarzenegger, his girlfriend Abby Champion and Champion’s model sister Baskin, who Bieber has been linked to since breaking up with Selena Gomez last month.
No charges
The cops were called to the scene of the incident but no witnesses would confirm to them exactly what went down or that it was Bieber who was involved. TMZ also reports that the man who attacked the woman also then decided not to press charges so Bieber will not face any criminal charges regarding the event. This is good news for the singer, especially since it clearly was an act of defense.
Page Six also reports that the same trouble making man was arrested later that night for allegedly chasing a car he thought Bieber was riding in. It seems like he had some hard feelings towards the singer about being booted from the party.
Back on track
It is good to hear about Bieber using his actions to solve trouble as opposed to causing it.
As many fans know, the pop star is no stranger to trouble the past few years, getting in fights with both paparazzi and fans, a DUI arrest, assault charges, reckless behavior at bars and clubs and more. But he seems to have been on the up and up as of late, even taking a break from his music and tour in order to work on himself and regularly attend church.
Many fans also attributed his new-found revelation to his reunion with Gomez, as she appeared to be a good influence on him but since their split last month he still seems to be on the right track.
