Justin Bieber was bum rushed in a Canadian nightclub by an over eager partier who tried in vain to tackle him — and TMZ has the pics.

It all went down at 3 am today at a Toronto nightclub. Sources on scene tell us JB left his safe VIP section to mingle with the regular folk — and that’s when a male clubgoer charged at him, got hold of his shirt (which he was wearing) and attempted to take him down, but failed.

Which makes sense … have you seen Bieber’s abs? Of course you have.

In the pics … you can see security rushed in stat (below) and managed to pull the guy off Bieber — successfully taking him to the ground. In the midst of the chaos we’re told JB was seen trying to defend himself, unleashing a fury of kicks.

The attacker was escorted out of he club. Police were never called.

JB and his crew also made a hasty retreat.
