In a video of the incident obtained by TMZ, Justin is seen walking through a crowd of people at a celebrity charity golf tournament before a hand grazed the side of his face.

An indignant Justin turned around and yelled, "Bro, why would you do that?"

After his security moved the Cry Me A River hitmaker, they were later seen talking to the suspect.

The showbiz site reports that the tournament officials "saw it as a minor incident," but that it escalated when the police attempted to escort the aggressor, who was allegedly intoxicated, off the premises at which point he allegedly refused to leave and grew aggressive.

While he was arrested for disorderly conduct, it is reported that Justin Timberlake refused to press charges.
