Justin Bieber accidently hit a photographer with his car as he was leaving a church in Hollywood.

The Canadian superstar reportedly knocked over a man who was taking photos of him as he reversed his SUV out of a parking space on Wednesday night.

Bieber then got out of the car and waited with the paparazzi for 10 minutes while they waited for paramedics to arrive on the scene.

The Sorry singer was seen helping the injured man, who was lying on the floor and appeared to be holding his leg in pain.
