(EPA Images pic) LONDON : American R&B singer Chris Brown, the former boyfriend of superstar Rihanna, was charged on Thursday with 'grievous bodily harm' over an assault at a London nightclub in 2023, police said. Arrested earlier Thursday at a hotel in Manchester, Brown remains in custody and will appear in court in the northwestern city at 10:00 am (0900 GMT) on Friday, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. The charges relate to 'an assault, which reportedly took place at a venue in Hanover Square in London' on Feb 19, 2023, the statement said. Brown allegedly attacked music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle at Tape nightclub in London's exclusive Mayfair district in February 2023, The Sun daily reported.

He was convicted of having beaten Rihanna, then his girlfriend, before the 2009 Grammy Awards, forcing the pop star to miss the annual gala.

Chris Brown ‘beat producer with bottle then chased him around club', court hears
R&B singer Chris Brown 'beat a producer with a bottle' before chasing him around a London nightclub, a court heard. The American musician, 36, appeared in the dock at Manchester magistrates' court on Friday charged with causing grievous bodily harm to Abraham Diaw in February 2023. District Judge Joanne Hirst told Brown the alleged offence was a matter 'too serious' to be dealt with at her court as she sent the case to London's Southwark Crown Court for a plea and trial preparation hearing on June 13. She refused an application for bail from lawyers for Brown, who was arrested at Manchester's Lowry Hotel at 2am on Thursday by detectives from the Metropolitan Police. The incident is alleged to have happened at a nightclub in Mayfair, central London, in February 2023. The singer is set to tour the UK in June and July, with dates at Co-Op Live in Manchester and Principality Stadium in Cardiff. Brown, wearing a black T-shirt and black Nike jogging bottoms, was flanked by two security guards in the dock. He confirmed his name was Christopher Maurice Brown, provided his date of birth and gave the Lowry Hotel as his address. Brown watched on intently as brief details of the case against him were outlined by prosecutor Hannah Nicholls. Ms Nicholls said the alleged victim was standing at the bar of the Tape nightclub on Feb 19 2023, when the defendant launched an 'unprovoked attack' in which the complainant was struck several times with a bottle. She said: 'The defendant then pursued him to a separate area of the nightclub, where the victim was punched and kicked repeatedly by him and another.' A bail application followed from Grace Forbes, Brown's barrister, which was denied. Brown confirmed to Judge Hirst that he understood he had further been remanded in custody until next month. The singer nodded to an associate in the front row of the court's public gallery as he was led from the dock following the 30-minute hearing. Members of the public joined members of press to watch proceedings in Court 17, along with others following on video-link in an overspill court. Brown is said to have flown into Manchester Airport on a private jet on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for tour dates in UK in June and July.
