The Los Angeles Police Department said Tuesday night that they were investigating a claim that Justin Bieber was involved in an attempted robbery that took place in the San Fernando Valley.

An individual not identified by the police accused Bieber of the attempted robbery, but the pop singer has not been arrested yet.

TMZ reports the incident took place at the Sherman Oaks Castle Park and Bieber wrestled a woman when she allegedly attempted to take a picture of him with her phone. Bieber tried to snatch the phone, only to give it back to the woman and demand she unlock it to get rid of any photos she might have taken. The situation eventually resolved, but the woman reportedly filed a complaint against Bieber.
