LONDON — Singer Chris Brown was arrested Thursday in England for allegedly hitting someone with a bottle in a London nightclub in 2023.

The Metropolitan Police announced that a 36-year-old was taken into custody at a Manchester hotel, suspected of causing grievous bodily harm. British law prohibits them from naming suspects before formal charges are filed.

According to The Sun, which initially broke the story, producer Abe Diaw claimed he was hospitalized after an unprovoked attack by Brown at the Tape nightclub in London’s upscale Mayfair area in February 2023.

The tabloid reported that it learned of Brown being in the U.K. on Wednesday and inquired with the police regarding his arrest status. Following this, Met officers reportedly traveled to Manchester and detained him.

Brown’s representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Associated Press.

Diaw said Brown, who was on a U.K. tour at the time, cracked him on the head with a bottle and punched and kicked him on the floor. The producer has filed a 12 million pound ($16 million) lawsuit against the singer.

Brown, often called by his nickname Breezy, burst onto the music scene as a teen in 2005 and has become a major hitmaker over the years with notable songs such as “Run It,” “Kiss Kiss” and “Without You.” He won his first Grammy for best R&B album in 2011 for “F.A.M.E.” then earned his second gold trophy in the same category for “11:11 (Deluxe)” earlier this year.

The singer is launching an international tour next month with artists Jhene Aiko, Summer Walker and Bryson Tiller, opening with a European leg before starting North America shows in July.
