MUMBAI: An ankle injury has led to an extension of the timeframe for singer Justin Bieber to complete the five-day community service and other tasks he was sentenced to in a vandalism case.

The 21-year-old singer was sentenced to the community service as well as a hefty fine and an anger management session in July in a vandalism case after he threw eggs at a neighbour's property. Due to an ankle injury, he has got more time to complete the tasks, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The ‘Boyfriend’ hitmaker, who was not present for a court hearing in Los Angeles on Monday, was reportedly limited by the injury, so he had not yet finished his five days of roadside cleanup, graffiti removal or other manual labour although a prosecutor said he is "close".

The incident, which took place in January 2014, led to a police officer revealing that the eggs hurled by Bieber had caused "extensive damage" to the victim's home.
