‘It is hard to defend myself,’ said Justin Bieber on a social media site to fans, sitting courtside a Los Angeles Clippers game.

Justin said this in response to allegations Justin Bieber has been accused of attempted robbery, a Los Angeles police department official has said, following media reports that he had tried to snatch a young woman’s mobile phone.

The alleged incident took place in the San Fernando Valley, according to LAPD Officer Rosario Herrera. The incident occurred at about 10:30 pm in the Van Nuys area of the city.

Justin Bieber also posted “ You can’t always believe what you read”

Bieber reportedly confronted a San Fernando Valley woman after he believed she was taking photos of the incident with her phone. The woman, who was with her young daughter, claims that Justin Bieber grabbed her cellphone from her purse in an attempt to delete the pictures. When Bieber discovered there were no images, he apparently screamed at the woman and her daughter.
