Justin Bieber got into a brawl in Cleveland Wednesday after game 3 of the NBA Finals.

In video footage obtained by TMZ, Bieber, who was dressed in Cleveland Cavaliers garb, and a guy who appears to be much larger than he is threw punches at each other before the "Love Yourself" crooner was ultimately taken down. Bieber throws the first punch seconds before the anonymous man decked him to the floor. 

People standing nearby tried to jump in to break them apart, but none prevailed. Based on the footage, it's unclear what prompted the fisticuffs in the first place, but it seems to have taken place at Bieber's hotel.

E! News has reached out to Bieber's camp for comment.

He was also spotted hanging out with boxer Adrien Broner that day and even made an appearance at The Barley House in Cleveland, where he arrived around 1:00 a.m. and left by 2 a.m. "He was actually really laid back and there was no fighting whatsoever here at the club," an eyewitness tells E! News. "He didn't look like he had just gotten in a fight, I didn't notice anything at least. Not sure who he was with." 

The video comes on the heels of Bieber's seemingly odd behavior, where he walked barefoot around Boston Public Commons. He also recently put awards shows on blast, saying he doesn't "feel good" after performing at them.

Bieber took to Instagram Thursday to address the fight, using a selfie to show followers that he was just fine. "Not a scratch on this pretty boy," he captioned the pic.
