Chris Brown has found himself behind bars after being arrested for a prior crime.
The singer was arrested on Thursday in Manchester, England for an alleged attack with a bottle that took place two years ago. Reports say that he was arrested at 2 am outside of the Lowry Hotel for the incident that took place at Tape Nightclub, in Mayfair, London.
Brown, 36, was arrested on suspicion of causing bodily harm to music producer, Abe Diaw. Diaw claims Brown’s attack on him was unprovoked and that he was hit over the head with a bottle, punched and kicked.
“He hit me over the head two or three times,” Diaw said. “My knee collapsed as well.” He was later taken to the hospital because of the injuries he sustained in the attack.
Brown is currently in police custody. Diaw filed a lawsuit against the “Run It” singer in October 2023, eight months after the alleged assault took place. The singer’s lawyers have yet to comment on the lawsuit and the arrest.
