Yahoo News Photographer 'struck' by Justin Bieber's car speaks out
The paparazzo who was allegedly struck by Justin Bieber's Hummer has spoken out about the incident, insisting that Bieber is a "good kid".
In a video posted to Instagram, Maurice Lamont addressed the drama from a hospital bed, and also revealed that it was his birthday.
What a way to celebrate, eh?
"Shotgetter is hanging in there everybody. An hour before my birthday hits, I get ran over by Justin Bieber. Isn't that something?" he says in the clip.
WOW WHAT A WAY TO BRING IN MY BIRTHDAY! SHOTGETTER POWER! I WISH BIEBER WAS STILL ON TOUR!!

While most people would be kind of pissed about spending their birthday in hospital, the photographer was surprisingly understanding of the situation.
"He's a good kid, though. I think the truck was a little bit too big for him, though. There's no way he could see over the front, it was the slope it was on," he said.
"He got out, he was compassionate, he's a good kid. Accidents happen. Hopefully everything works out here."
It hasn't exactly been the best week for Bieber, as the singer announced that he was cancelling the remaining 14 dates of his 'Purpose' world tour on Monday (July 24).
Addressing fans after the news broke, Justin said: "I love you guys, I think you guys are awesome.
"I'm sorry for anybody who feels, like, disappointed or betrayed, it's not in my heart or anything and have a blessed day."
