Following the alleged assault, Mr. Diaw was taken to the hospital and required crutches to walk upon his release. The incident reportedly took place while Brown was in the UK as part of his global tour.
Brown is scheduled to perform ten more shows across Britain next month, but the ongoing police investigation could disrupt the remainder of his tour.
In response to the alleged incident, Mr. Diaw has filed a civil lawsuit against Brown, seeking $16 million (£12 million) in damages for the injuries and financial losses he claims to have suffered.
The two-time Grammy Award winner had planned to continue his "Breezy Bowl XX Tour"—a celebration of his 20-year career—with major R&B artists Summer Walker opening the North American leg and Bryson Tiller joining him in Europe and the UK.

Who is Antonio Brown? Former NFL star wanted in Miami-Dade County on attempted murder charge
Former National Football League (NFL) star Antonio Brown is wanted by authorities in Miami-Dade County on a charge of attempted murder with a firearm. According to the warrant reviewed by The Washington Post, charges against Brown stem from his alleged involvement at a celebrity boxing event in Miami last month. The warrant, signed on Wednesday, June 11, sets Brown's bond at $10,000 and includes a condition that he must remain under house arrest until his trial. The now-wanted footballer was a top wide receiver in the NFL before his erratic behavior led to a turbulent exit from the league, as per Reuters. During his career, Brown earned first-team All-Pro honors four times, making seven Pro Bowl appearances with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2010 to 2018. Though traded to the then-Oakland Raiders, he never played a game for them. Antonio Brown later had brief stints with the New England Patriots (1 game in 2019) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (15 games from 2020 to 2021), where he ended his career. Brown caught 928 passes for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns in 146 games. He led the league in catches twice, receiving yards twice and touchdown receptions once. Besides making headlines for multiple arrests, Antonio Brown found himself in the spotlight in October 2024, just ahead of the US Presidential elections. In October 2024, following his speech at a Donald Trump rally, Brown was spotted in Pittsburgh outside the stadium he used to call home with the Steelers, passing out "Trump Vance" yellow and black towels to fans before 'Sunday Night Football,' reported Fox News.

Report: Antonio Brown sought on attempted murder charge
Former All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown is being sought by authorities in Miami-Dade County on a charge of attempted murder with a firearm, according to a warrant reviewed by The Washington Post. The charge stems from a shooting Brown allegedly was involved in at a celebrity boxing event in Miami last month. The warrant, signed by a judge on Wednesday, requires Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest until trial. Brown, 36, temporarily was detained by police after gunshots were fired at the boxing event in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami on May 16. The mercurial wide receiver was spotted fighting with several people on a video posted to social media. "Regarding the boxing event that happened last night," Brown wrote on the following day on X. "I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. "I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me. I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process." Per the warrant, people in the parking lot told police that Brown was the shooter. Brown did not have a weapon on him when he was patted down, but investigators discovered two used shell casings and an empty gun holster. Police found video footage that showed Brown punching another person. That same footage showed Brown appearing to take the gun of a security officer and running in the direction of the person he had initially hit. Cell phone footage revealed two gunshots as Brown approached the victim, who ducked the bullets. Per the warrant, detectives met with the alleged victim on May 21. He said Brown "began to run toward him with a firearm" and shot at him twice. Brown walked away before police arrived, and the man went to Aventura Hospital for treatment of his injuries. Brown previously was a top wide receiver in the NFL before his erratic behavior led to a turbulent exit from the league. He was named a first-team All-Pro four times and made seven Pro Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2010-18 before being traded to the then-Oakland Raiders. He didn't play a down there, however, and ended his career after one game with the New England Patriots and 15 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Brown caught 928 passes for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns in 146 games. He led the league in catches twice, receiving yards twice and touchdown receptions once. Field Level Media
