British actor Orlando Bloom reportedly threw a punch at pop star Justin Bieber at a restaurant in Ibiza, Spain.

The fracas was said to have happened at Cipriani, where both were dining, celebrity news website TMZ reported.

According to witnesses, Bieber managed to avoid the punch. A video apparently taken by a bystander and published by TMZ did not capture the attempted punch but showed Bieber shouting: "What's up, bitch?"

Bloom, 37, then approached the 20-year-old singer pointing a finger at him as another man intervened.

Bieber left and the crowd clapped, according to TMZ.

Paris Hilton and P Diddy were reportedly also eating in the restaurant at the time.

Bloom, who has starred in the Pirates of the Caribbean and Lord of the Rings movies, split up with Australian model Miranda Kerr, with whom he has a son, in October after three years of marriage.

Two years ago, she and Bieber were photographed together at a Victoria's Secret fashion show. In April, Bloom was photographed in Los Angeles with Bieber's ex-girlfriend, actress Selena Gomez.

Shortly after the scuffle in Ibiza, Bieber posted a picture of Kerr on a social network before deleting it.
