An Argentinian judge has issued an arrest warrant for Justin Bieber.

The star is accused of failing to respond to summons related to an incident in Buenos Aires in 2013.

Bieber is accused of sending the bodyguards to attack photographer Diego Pesoa outside a Buenos Aires nightclub.

The pop superstar never returned to Argentina to respond to questions about the incident.

And Judge Alberto Julio Banos has now ordered the "immediate detention" of Bieber and bodyguards Hugo Alcides Hesny and Terrence Reche Smalls.

Under Argentinian law, Bieber would face between one month and six years in prison if convicted on a charge of causing injuries.

The warrant did not specify whether it extended beyond Argentina.
