The scuffle allegedly happened when the photographer tried to snap pictures of the 18-year-old and Gomez, after they walked out of a theatre at The Commons at Calabasas in May, reported TMZ Online.
No charges were ever brought against Bieber even though the photographer had filed a complaint against him.
