Justin Bieber Shuts Down NY Mall
Tween girls camped out overnight or arrived during the wee morning hours in Nassau County, New York this weekend. The reason? A chance to see fifteen year old singing sensation, Justin Bieber. Three thousand girls began pushing and shoving to get a closer look at JB, but wound up causing a raucous. Island Def Jams artist Bieber was scheduled to make an appearance at Roosevelt Field Mall, but he never made it into the building.
An Island Def Jam vice president was arrested at the event for not cooperating during crowd control proceedings. Bieber and his mother were turned away at the door by police. He later told WBLI Radio that the police "threatened to arrest my mom and I." Five people were taken to the local hospital with minor injuries.
Somewhere, the Jonas Brothers are sighing in relief. The tween girl spotlight has finally shifted onto someone else.
