Bieber’s punch is no crime

- Rachel DeSantis

THE BIEBS is off the hook.

Justin Bieber will not face criminal charges for allegedly throwing a punch at a man who was assaulting a woman at a party because he doesn’t want to press charges against the singer, according to TMZ.

The site reported Bieber played hero Saturday night at a Coachella music festival bash in Indio, Calif., when he stepped in after he saw a man grab a woman by the throat and refuse to let go.

Police were were unable to find witnesses to corroborat­e the man’s claim that Bieber punched him.

The Palm Springs Police Department did not immediatel­y respond to a request for comment, nor did a rep for Bieber.
