Los Angeles ? Justin Bieber has settled a lawsuit by a photographer who accused the singer of kicking and punching him outside a Southern California shopping centre in 2012. Photographer Jose Osmin Hernandez Duran sued Bieber in 2013, saying the incident left him with severe emotional distress. Duran's attorney, Steven Madison, said on Wednesday that the case had been resolved but he couldn't comment further. Bieber was accused of attacking Duran while he was out with singer Selena Gomez, who was his girlfriend at the time.
