Chris Brown was arrested in Manchester after being accused of assaulting someone with a bottle at a London nightclub, just weeks before his upcoming tour.

Early this morning, in the luxurious Lowry Hotel in Manchester, singer Chris Brown was arrested by the police. The 36-year-old American R&B star was taken into custody on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw. This incident took place at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London, back in February 2023.

Following confirmation that Brown was in the country, The Sun contacted the police to inquire about his possible arrest. The Metropolitan Police then received a tip and quickly made their way to Manchester to apprehend the singer. Brown had flown into Manchester Airport the day before on a private jet, possibly to begin rehearsals for his upcoming UK tour, set to kick off on June 15 in Manchester.

The alleged attack on Diaw reportedly occurred around 3am during a Dirty Martini club night at Tape nightclub. Diaw claims that Brown, along with his entourage, attacked him without provocation. He alleges that the singer broke a bottle over his head and continued to punch and kick him while he was on the ground. Diaw sustained injuries that required him to be taken to the hospital. He has since launched a civil claim against Brown for $16 million in damages.

According to The Sun, the Metropolitan Police stated, "A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs on Thursday, 15 May on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. He has been taken into custody where he remains. 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."
