A fan who attacked Justin Bieber on stage during his Dubai concert Sunday evening was no match for the teen pop star’s security team.
Bieber was sitting at a grand piano when a man — presumably a fan — rushed on stage. He was tackled by bodyguards, who managed to knock over the piano in the process.
Bieber ran to the side of the stage, where reports say he kept on performing just like nothing happened.
A fan recorded the incident and uploaded it to Youtube:
The Biebs took a short three-minute break after finishing the song, reports Dubai-based newspaper The National. He then came back for an encore with the songs Boyfriend and Baby.
Bieber is reportedly fine. A spokesperson for the star told the Today Show: “A man ran on stage during ‘Believe’ and tried to grab Justin and knocked the piano over. He was a fan. Security detained the young man. All was fine and Justin continued the show.”
Bieber reassured fans after the show with this tweet:
Dubai. Nothing stops the show. 2 more to go. #BELIEVEtour

He has two stops left on his Believe tour, which has been marred by a series of high-profile incidents, including Bieber collapsing on stage, Bieber offending many with his comments about Anne Frank, Bieber trying to sneak a pet monkey into Germany and a Bieber bus drug bust.
