Singer Justin Bieber reportedly punched a photographer after arriving at a hotel in Paris with his entourage.

Several photos of the incident have surfaced showing the 20-year-old singer getting into a scuffle with photographers Sep 30, reports eonline.com.

A photograph released Wednesday shows him surrounded by several photographers and appears to be trying to punch one of them. Another picture shows the singer's hand near another photographer's neck.

The photographers have not been identified and have also not commented.

Paparazzi and fans were waiting for Bieber and he got upset as he could not get through the crowd, said an eyewitness.

"He punched one photographer and grabbed another by his neck as his bodyguard tried to restrain him. It is unclear who instigated the violence," the witness added.

No arrests have been made and Bieber's representatives have refused to comment.
