Australian charged over Justin Bieber egg throwing

SYDNEY: An Australian teenager was charged Thursday with breaking into the roof of a concert arena so he could throw eggs at Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber.

The 17-year-old heartthrob, touring Australia, has been mobbed by screaming girls at sold-out shows, but had eggs thrown at him when performing his first single "One Time" at a concert in Sydney on Friday.

None hit him and he finished singing the song before taking a break so the stage could be cleaned up.

Australian Associated Press said a 17-year-old Sydney resident was arrested at his home early Thursday and charged with breaking and entering, trespass and malicious damage following complaints from Acer Arena.

He was bailed to appear at a children's court on June 2.
