| Justin Bieber, here perfoming in Sydney, demonstrates a dance move that may have unwittingly helped shield him from egg yolk. A 17-year-old Australian boy alleged to be involved in egging Justin Bieber at a Sydney concert last Friday was charged by police today. |
A 17-year-old Australian boy alleged to be involved in egging Justin Bieber at a Sydney concert last Friday was charged by police today, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. The unidentified teen is facing charges of breaking and entering, trespassing and malicious damage.
As for what the kid is alleged to have done, you'll recall some of the details from the YouTube video that surfaced earlier this week -- a clip that proved Bieber's as talented at avoiding projectiles as he is at charting hits. And the Associated Press reports that police claim the accused egger broke into Sydney's Acer Arena to pull off the prank, and snuck up to the venue's roof to lob the raw eggs -- all of which reportedly missed Bieber and his back-up dancers.
The unidentified ova-bomber was arrested early Thursday morning at his home, the Sydney Morning Herald reports, and is scheduled to appear in court June 2. According to the paper, the concert venue contacted police about the incident when they uncovered some unspecified details about it through a social networking site.
Bieber has yet to comment on the incident. The teen pop star has been known to enjoy throwing water balloons in the past, though it's unclear whether he's ever egged an unsuspecting victim.
