Hundreds of frenzied teenagers mobbed 16-year-old pop 星, 星级 Justin Bieber and knocked down his mother as he arrived in New Zealand, stealing his hat as he was rushed through the airport to escape the fans.
The heartthrob Canadian singer tweeted his 2.1 million 粉丝 Wednesday to report: "Finally got to New Zealand last night. The airport was crazy. Not happy that someone 偷了 my hat and knocked down my mama. Come on people."
The star's mother, Pattie Mallette, tweeted that she was "OK" after being pushed over 由 rampaging 粉丝 at Auckland Airport late Tuesday. "Thanks for all ur support!! I'm ok thank you!!!," she wrote.
It was his mother's posting of 视频 of Bieber 唱歌 on YouTube that first caught the attention of the 音乐 industry. His song "Baby" became a top-ten hit on iTunes earlier this year, and his popularity has grown to teen idol status.
Before arriving at the airport, the blond-haired singer had told 粉丝 that he wanted to sign autographs and have pictures taken. But police and security had to shut the opportunity down because 粉丝 were pushing.
The frenzy followed similar scenes in Sydney, Australia, earlier in the week, where police canceled a Bieber 音乐会 after surging crowds crushed some fans. The most serious injury was a fractured kneecap.
A similar situation occurred at a mall in Long Island, New York, in November. Bieber's free 音乐会 was canceled at the 11th 小时 when hundreds of 粉丝 stampeded after a reported sighting of the teen star.
In New Zealand, a mob of mainly teen girls screamed their welcome and swarmed toward Bieber at the airport. Escorted 由 security, police and minders, Bieber quickly left the airport out a side door.
A waiting black SUV whisked him away, leaving some 粉丝 sobbing with disappointment.
After Bieber's departure, teen Tory Shaffett 说 she was having trouble breathing.
"Oh my god, he was so amazing and beautiful. I can't believe I saw him," she told reporters.
Bieber bungy jumped off Auckland Harbor Bridge on Wednesday and 发布 footage on his Twitter account.
Later Wednesday, Bieber wore an All Blacks rugby jersey and played drums at a 音乐 lesson with a dozen teens at Strathallan High School for girls, before belting out half a dozen songs at an impromptu 音乐会 in front of 500 students.
He sang "One Time," "Never Let 你 Go," "You Smile," "That Should Be Me, Baby" and "Favorite Girl" to his teenage girl audience.
He also had a request for their 下一个 音乐 lesson.
"The 下一个 song 你 need to learn is 'One' 由 Metallica. 你 guys keep rocking out," The "Stuff" news website quoted Bieber telling the students, aged from 11 to 17.
"I'll definitely be back," he added.
