Justin Bieber goes berserk: Pop sensation lashes out at cameraman

 The angry star was held back by his minder

The precocious 19-year-old had only just been released from hospital after suffering “breathing problems” when he lunged at a cameraman from his people carrier on London’s Park Lane.

His bizarre behaviour comes just days after he left thousands of young fans heartbroken and their parents angry after turning up almost two hours late for a concert in the capital, blaming “technical difficulties”. He claimed he was only 40 minutes late.

'What did you say?' he shouted, with a string of expletives as he was pulled back by the bodyguards

Bieber, dressed in red sweatshirt and matching hat, had been hustled into the people carrier from his hotel by minders but burst out of the van swearing and making threatening comments as he threw a punch.

“What did you say? What did you say?” he shouted, with a string of expletives as he was pulled back by the bodyguards.

The footage of him shoving a photographer out of the way as he gets into the van then jumping out again to launch into his swearing rant was captured exclusively by Channel 5 News and shown online and on their early evening bulletin last night.

Bieber took to Twitter shortly afterwards to explain his side of the story, saying: “Ahhhhh! Rough morning. Trying to feel better for this show tonight but let the paps get the best of me... Sometimes when people r shoving cameras in your face all day... well I’m human. Rough week. Gonna get focused on this show tonight. Adrenaline is high now. Gonna put it on the stage.”

The incident puts another blight on the normally spotless, squeaky clean image of the Canadian pop star and adds to a mounting backlash against him sparked by keeping fans waiting on Monday night.

Earlier Bieber posted a topless picture of himself from his bed in hospital where he was treated for breathing problems, said to be related to stress.

The pop sensation was rushed off stage at the O2 during his concert on Thursday night and disappeared from stage for about 15 minutes as management tried to work out if he was fit enough to continue.

Following the concert Bieber was taken to hospital to be checked. Shortly after 1am he wrote on Twitter: “Getting better. Thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. Best fans in the world. Thanks for the love.”
