An Argentine court has ruled that the singer will be arrested if he sets foot in the country.
Photographer Diego Pesoa has accused Bieber and one of his bodyguards of lashing out at him – but Bieber failed to show for questionig.
Authorities have now called in world police agency Interpol to locate Bieber.
Pesoa claims the pair attacked when he tried to take a picture of the star leaving a Buenos Aries nightclub.
"I consider it pertinent to order the immediate detention of the accused," read Judge Alberto Julio Banos' order.
A copy of the ruling ordering Bieber's detention has been confirmed as authentic by court secretary Soledad Nieto.
He said: "We are asking Interpol for Justin Bieber's detention, anywhere in the world.
"Since he could not be found for his appearance to testify, we request that he be detained."
The court also ordered the detention of one of Bieber's bodyguards.
In November, another local judge had ordered Bieber to appear for questioning within two months over the same alleged incident.
He had requested the assistance of Argentina's Interpol branch to help locate the 21-year-old.
Bieber has had a string of run-ins with the law in several countries.
