Cops are investigating the incident as a misdemeanor battery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Law enforcement tells us detectives want to speak with Justin, Selena and any other witnesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We placed a call to Justin's rep ... so far, no comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"update_bar\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/08/09/update-bar.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're told several witnesses at the scene say after the altercation, a lawyer walked up to the photog and said he could get a lot of money out of the incident and advised the dude to call for an ambulance and file a police report.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Witnesses also say the photog had been blocking Justin's car as the singer was trying to leave.&amp;#160; Justin got out of the car and asked the guy to move away but he wouldn't, and a scuffle ensued."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
