The site reports that the photographer Jeffrey Binion filed a police report on June 5 which alleged that Bieber's bodyguards attacked him while he was trying to take a photograph of teen entertainer outside of Miami's Hit Factory recording studio.

Binion has now filed a lawsuit against Bieber and bodyguard Hugo Hesny, which claims that Bieber masterminded the attack. Binion says at Bieber's behest, Hesny threw him against a wall, grabbed him by the throat, and "displayed a gun" [holstered under his shirt] while he and the other bodyguards took the memory card from his camera.

Binion (who works as a professional photographer and insists he's not a paparazzo) claims he suffered bodily injury, pain and suffering, mental anguish and incurred medical expenses.
