CHRIS BROWN ARRESTED IN UK

R&B singer Chris Brown, 36, has been arrested and charged in the United Kingdom in connection with an alleged assault that occurred at a London nightclub in February 2023. The incident reportedly involved Brown attacking music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle at Tape nightclub in London’s Mayfair district.

The Alleged Incident

According to court proceedings, Brown is accused of striking Diaw multiple times over the head with a bottle, followed by punching and kicking him. The assault allegedly resulted in grievous bodily harm, leaving Diaw with severe injuries. Prosecutors described the attack as unprovoked and stated that it was captured on surveillance footage.

Diaw filed a civil lawsuit in November 2023, seeking damages for the physical and emotional harm he claims to have suffered due to the incident.
