‘Why would you do that?’ Justin Timberlake gets assaulted by a fan

Justin Timberlake was enjoying a golf tournament this weekend when a fan got a little over-excited. 

The 35-year-old pop star was coming off the golf course when a 'fan' smacked him on the side of his face. 

In a video posted by TMZ, we see Justin walking through a crowd during the American Century Championship, when a hand reaches out and smacks him. 

After the slap, Justin turns around and shouts "why would you do that?"

According to reports, the suspect was taken to security, but he insisted that he just wanted to "touch" the Suit & Tie singer.

Police from the scene said that the suspect seemed to be under the influence of alcohol, and started to get aggressive.

Justin did not want to press charges, and ultimately the man was arrested for disorderly conduct. 

The run-in with this drunken fan did not dampen his spirits, and Justin went on to have a great time at the golfing event. 

The former N-Sync member shared a number of pictures from the weekend on his Instagram. 

"What a weekend!" he wrote on one of his posts, showing him fist-bumping basketball player, Stephen Curry.
