Rapper/Singer Chris Brown Arrested Over Brawl With Music Producer

 

R&B singer Chris Brown has been arrested over a street brawl involving him and a music producer in London, United Kingdom, dating back to 2023. 

The Dueces singer was apprehended by the UK Met Police after they were alerted of his arrival in Manchester over an incident in which he inflicted bodily harm on one Abe Diaw. Brown reportedly attacked the music producer with a bottle at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair, London. 

Brown landed in Manchester on Wednesday, and as confirmed by the authorities, he was arrested in the early hours of Thursday at a hotel in Hanover Square. 

"He has been taken into custody where he remains," the Met said in a statement. "The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on 19 February 2023."

Speaking of the incident, Mr Diaw alleged the singer smashed a bottle on his head. Following the unprovoked bottle attack, he punched and kicked him while he lay on the floor. All these, Diaw alleged, happened at the nightclub while he was accompanied by his entourage. 

Diaw claimed he was hospitalized after the incident, and when he was discharged, he needed crutches to walk as his knees suffered injuries from the attack. He now demands $16 million for the damages caused by the singer.
