Canadian pop star Justin Bieber, 19, performs in front of a crowd of 15,000 fans at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai on May 4, 2013. It was Bieber’s first visit to the United Arab Emirates.
A crazed fan stormed the stage and attacked Justin Bieber from behind as he performed during a concert in Dubai today.
In several videos of the incident posted online, Bieber, 19, is seen sitting at the piano when a youth in a white shirt and jeans blindsided the unsuspecting pop star.
Security guards quickly descended and hauled off the attacker, but not before Bieber's piano was flipped over in the ruckus.
