Justin Bieber will be quizzed by police over his alleged brawl with a photographer.

The 'Boyfriend' singer was reportedly involved in an altercation with a photographer in a shopping center car park in Calabasses, California, in May, and is expected to be called in for questioning when he returns to the US.

Lawyer Anahita Sedaghatfar - who is not connected with the case - told Fox News yesterday, "He will definitely be called in for questioning. This is a high-profile case which has gotten a ton of media attention. The police will have to dot their Is and cross their Ts for sure. However, Bieber is under no legal obligation to talk to the police. He likely will speak to them nevertheless, of course with his attorneys' guidance."

According to the legal expert, the case is unlikely to be taken further until Justin speaks to police. "The police will have to get his side of the story in order to determine whether to dump the case or turn it over to prosecutors. They certainly cannot press charges based on the little evidence they have now," the lawyer added.
