A male model is suing Justin Bieber over an alleged altercation in the Hamptons, New York in 2013.

The Baby hitmaker was accused of instigating a brawl involving members of his entourage outside the South Pointe nightclub in Southampton in August, 2013 following an argument with fellow clubber Wayne Rennalls.

Video footage of the incident which emerged online showed Bieber standing on the hood of a vehicle before running towards the bust-up, but police investigating the drama ruled the singer was not involved in the violence.

According to Tmz.com, Rennalls was hospitalised with cuts, bruises and a chipped tooth and is now suing Bieber and nightclub bosses for an unspecified amount in damages.
