Chris Brown arrested in Manchester over bottle attack on music producer at London nightclub

Rapper Chris Brown was arrested at a five-star hotel in the UK early this morning after allegedly attacking a music producer with a bottle at a nightclub two years ago.

Metropolitan Police detectives detained the 36-year-old American musician at The Lowry in Manchester at 2am today on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.

Brown was taken into custody just hours after arriving at Manchester Airport on a private jet, reported The Sun.

The allegations relate to an incident in February 2023 where Brown is claimed to have injured music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in London's Mayfair.

The Met told MailOnline: '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 19 February 2023. The investigation is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.'
