The paparazzo that was struck down by Justin Bieber has given an update on his condition - live from hospital.

Maurice Lamont appears to have been a man standing in the wrong place at the wrong time as 23-year-old Justin was leaving his Hillsong religious meeting in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The pap took to Instagram on Thursday to give an update - filming himself being wheeled around a hospital while lying on a bed.

And it sounds like his bad luck came at an unfortunate time - just minutes before his birthday.

Maurice said "accidents happen" as he recounted being run over - then helped - by Justin

"Hour before my birthday hits, I get ran over by Justin Bieber,” Maurice explained, adding: "Isn’t that something?"

The photographer continued: "He’s a good kid though. I think the truck was a little bit too big for him, though. ‘Cause there is no way he could see over the front."

He added: “He got out, he was compassionate, he was a good kid. Accidents happen."

Maurice then added that he was about to be x-rayed to ascertain what injuries he had sustained as a consequence of the accident.

The pap was ploughed over by Bieber after standing in front of the wheels of the Sorry singer’s giant truck - with the Biebs driving very slowly at the time of the accident.

Bieber fans were outraged earlier this week when the Canadian pop star cancelled the remaining dates of his Purpose World Tour at short notice - amidst claims he might soon set up a religion of his own.
