In a shocking development, Grammy-award-winning artist Chris Brown has found himself behind bars in the UK, following allegations of a violent attack at a London nightclub earlier this year. The R&B superstar was taken into custody on Thursday morning at a Manchester hotel, on suspicions of causing grievous bodily harm.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that a 36-year-old man, later identified as Brown, was arrested shortly after 2 AM on May 15. This arrest ties back to an alleged incident that occurred at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair on February 19, 2023, involving music producer Abe Diaw.
According to reports from The Sun, police were alerted to Brown's presence in the UK when he arrived by private jet. Following this tip-off, officers were dispatched to Manchester to apprehend the artist. "A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs," a Met representative stated. "He has been taken into custody where he remains."
In a previous interview, Diaw recounted a harrowing encounter with Brown, asserting that the singer struck him over the head with a bottle and continued to assault him while he lay injured on the floor. The producer claimed that the impact collapsed his knee, necessitating hospitalization, and he was released on crutches.
Brown, who rose to stardom more than twenty years ago, is widely recognized for hit songs such as "Beautiful People," "No Air," and "Run It." Currently, he is on tour in the UK with upcoming performances scheduled for June and July. Representatives for Brown have yet to respond to requests for comments regarding the incident. The investigation into the attack continues, led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.
