Chris Brown arrested, charged over alleged bottle attack in London 

Due to an alleged bottle attack in a London nightclub two years ago, R&B singer Chris Brown is scheduled to appear in court on Friday on charges of grievous bodily harm with intent.

A little after two in the morning on Thursday, the singer was reportedly taken into custody at Manchester’s The Lowry Hotel in connection with the incident at a nightclub in London.

It has been reported that in February 2023, Brown was arrested on suspicion of seriously hurting music producer Abe Diaw at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London. Brown allegedly flew into the UK the day before the arrest.

“The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on 19 February 2023. The investigation is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.’’
