Bieber sued by Toronto Uber driver for alleged 2013 assault

March 29, 2015 15:03

Justin Bieber has been sued by the Toronto SUV limousine driver that alleged the pop star punched him in the head repeatedly back in December 2013.

The driver, Abdul Mohar, is asking for $850,000 in damages, and seeking a court order preventing Bieber, 21, from coming within 100 meters of him, according to documents filed in Toronto. Mohar, 34, said after picking up a group of six men via transportation app Uber on December 30, 2013 in Toronto, a man he later identified as Bieber punched him in the head because he refused to turn the limo's music up louder.

In a statement to the Toronto Star, Mohar claims Bieber punched him "very hard" after climbing into the front seats and turning the stereo's music to full volume.

Bieber's lawyer, Brian Greenspan, called the lawsuit against his client "totally without merit."
