American Rapper Chris Brown was arrested at a five-star hotel in Manchester on Thursday over what British authorities alleged was an attack on a music producer at a London nightclub.
According to The Independent, Metropolitan Police detectives detained the 36-year-old American rapper at The Lowry Hotel at 2 am on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
The allegations were related to an incident in February 2023, where the American rapper was alleged to have injured music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in London’s Mayfair.
The Met reports that, “A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 2am on Thursday, May 15 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 February 19, 2023. Detectives are leading the investigation from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.”
Diaw initially claimed that Brown assaulted him in an unprovoked attack when the rapper and his entourage were at a club night called ‘Dirty Martini’.
