Tween mayhem! Justin Bieber, the 15-year-old Usher protégé, incited a frenzy Friday at an appearance at a mall on New York's Long Island. Cops told TMZ that one girl had to be taken out of the Roosevelt Field Mall on a stretcher and rushed to the hospital as more than 1,000 fans eagerly waited for Bieber’s arrival. Someone was even arrested, the Web site reports. Because of the insanity, Bieber didn’t show and urged his fans to leave the scene. "The event at roosevelt mall is canceled. please go home. the police have already arrested one person from my camp. I dont want anyone hurt,” he wrote on Twitter. “Im sorry to everyone who was in Long Island at the Mall 2day. I was just trying to come meet fans and never meant to dissapoint anyone.” (TMZ)
