There is now an international manhunt for Luka Magnotta, the man accused of sending body parts to members of the Canadian government.

The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department is investigating Justin Bieber after a photographer claims the teen heart-throb assaulted him.  Bieber was outside a shopping center with girlfriend, Selena Gomez, over the weekend when the paparazzo started snapping some shots. That’s when the photographer claims he was attacked by Bieber. 

Following the incident the paparazzo was taken to a nearby hospital then, after his release, he filed a police report calling Bieber the culprit.  Some eyewitnesses reportedly claim Bieber’s car was blocked by the photographer and that’s what sent him into a rage.  If so, that’s illegal in California and the paparazzo could be the one facing charges.
