Justin Bieber's case about an alleged scuffle with a photographer was turned over to prosecutors yesterday.
Los Angeles County prosecutors are reviewing the altercation at a Californian shopping mall to determine whether criminal charges should be filed against the singer, a spokeswoman has confirmed.
Detectives have been investigating claims by the man who alleges the incident took place after he took photographs of him and girlfriend Selena Gomez last month.
The photographer complained of pain and was taken by the Los Angeles County Fire Department to a hospital, where he was treated and released, officials said.
The LA County district attorney's office received the case on Tuesday, but it is unclear how long it will take to make a decision about charges.
The photographer called the police, but Justin and Selena were gone by the time they arrived.
Apparently the LA County Sheriff's deputies tried to reach Justin to discuss the incident, but never spoke to him.
The teenager has not commented on the incident which could see him charged with misdemeanor battery.
