Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez were cruising around in L.A. today when the teen singer reportedly got into a scuffle with a photographer hoping to catch shots of the couple together. It's unclear what happened, but apparently the Biebs lost a shoe and his hat in the process.

No word yet on if there was an actual fight, but photos from the scene indicate that Bieber was distraught after the encounter. He was gripping his hair and seemed both mad and upset. Gomez seemed to be trying to calm him down. A fire truck, cops, and an ambulance came to the scene. There's also word that the photographer was somehow injured. It was allegedly a "strike to the face" from the Biebs.

Bieber's camp has yet to comment on what happened and there's no word if the teen will be facing any legal repercussions.

The singer is leaving for Oslo tomorrow to embark on a press tour ahead of his new album and world tour, so hopefully the ordeal doesn't put a damper on his travel plans.

Stay tuned.
