BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - The Argentine court on Friday, April 10 has issued warrant of arrest for Canadian singer and songwriter Justin Bieber as he failed to respond to the allegations related to the 2013 incident in Buenos Aires.
A report from the Associated Press said that Judge Alberto Julio Banos ordered the "immediate detention" of Bieber and bodyguards Hugo Alcides Hesny and Terrence Reche Smalls.
Local photographer Diego Pesoa, accused Bieber and one of his bodyguards of lashing out at him when he tried to get a photo of the star as he left the club in the capital's trendy Palermo Hollywood neighborhood.
Under Argentine law, Bieber would face from one month to six years in prison if convicted on a charge of causing injuries.
Bieber is said to be arrested if he set foot in the country.
A report from Reuters said that Bieber has had a string of run-ins with the law in several countries.
