Chris Brown arrested in England 2 years after alleged assault
Chris Brown was arrested Thursday in Manchester, England, in connection with an alleged bottle-throwing incident two years prior.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the 36-year-old controversial singer — who has a history of assault arrests — attacked music producer Abe Diaw in February 2023 at London's Tape nightclub.
Brown was taken into custody at a Manchester hotel early Thursday morning on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, according to the outlet. Brown's slated to tour in Manchester as well as other U.K. cities next month.
'We can confirm that Chris Brown was involved in an incident with our client, and the injuries sustained are serious,' attorney Ryan J. Daneshrad, who represented Diaw in the suit, told the Daily News. 'We are pursuing all legal remedies to hold him accountable. At this time, we will let the facts speak for themselves through the proper legal channels.'
It's unclear what led to the alleged altercation and what injuries Diaw allegedly sustained.
Brown is perhaps just as well-known for his legal issues as he once was for his musical prowess and hit songs like 'Forever' and 'No Air.'
Most infamously, in 2009, Brown viciously attacked then-girlfriend Rihanna, who was hospitalized as a result. He was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats, ultimately taking a deal in which he pleaded guilty to felony assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury.
Brown at the time was sentenced to five years probation, 180 days of community labor and a year of domestic violence classes and ordered to pay fines. In the aftermath, Brown was denied a visa to the U.K.
In the years since assaulting Rihanna, Brown has been arrested on suspicion of multiple other assaults in different cities.
Earlier this year, he sued Warner Bros. for an Investigation Discovery documentary, 'Chris Brown: A History of Violence,' which identified him as a 'serial rapist,' per People.
Brown's lawyer did not immediately respond to The News' request for comment.

Cops ask public's help ID'ing muggers who stabbed, beat Bronx subway rider
Cops released surveillance photos of a trio of brutes wanted for punching, repeatedly stabbing and robbing a man on a Bronx train last month. The three muggers, believed to be in their 20s, remain on the lam after the violent May 11 attack, which left 39-year-old Alberto Abreu Contreras knocked unconscious on the E. 167th St. subway station platform in Highbridge. Surveillance photos show one mugger wearing an olive-green hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants and black sneakers. The others are both pictured wearing white jackets, with black masks covering their faces. It was not immediately clear which man stabbed Contreras, cops said. The victim was on his way home from his job as a valet, riding the No. 4 train heading north around 2:19 a.m. when he was approached by the three men, who ordered him to hand over his 14-karat gold Jesus medallion chain. When he didn't cooperate, the trio grabbed the jewelry and pulled the victim out onto the train platform. 'If you don't give me your stuff I'm going to stab you,' one of the men threatened, police sources told the Daily News. The crooks then furiously attacked Contreras, punching him in the face and one suspect stabbing him in the abdomen and torso, before they took off with the wounded victim's chain, EarPods, Samsung Galaxy A23 phone and IDs. 'I was sitting on the train, and a guy grabbed me by my chain through my hoodie,' Contreras told The News a day after the assault. 'He dragged me out onto the platform, I held onto the guy for dear life. There was two more guys that came to help him. They said, 'Let him go'. He was saying, 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry' in Spanish, and he ran down the escalator.' Contreras was unconscious following the beatdown and said he woke up at Lincoln Hospital, where he was initially in critical condition. After surgery he was expected to recover. 'I still feel the pain,' Contreras told The News. 'They put tubes in my stomach to see if there was internal bleeding. It is what it is, this goes with the neighborhood. This can happen to anyone.' Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls are confidential.
