Canadian police are looking into an accusation from a 12-year-old boy who claims he was punched in the face by teen pop star Justin Bieber, said People.com. The altercation allegedly occurred during a game of laser tag at a facility in Vancouver. Witnesses say that Bieber, 16, may have been responding to the younger boy’s using gay slurs to taunt Bieber. Bieber, who was asked to leave the facility after the boy complained, has yet to comment.
