Rapper Chris Brown was arrested early Thursday morning at a premium hotel in Manchester in connection with a nightclub bottle attack in London.
Metropolitan Police officers apprehended the 36-year-old American artist just after 2 a.m. at The Lowry Hotel.
The arrest arises from an incident that occurred on February 19, 2023, at Tape nightclub in Hanover Square, Mayfair, in which Brown allegedly attacked music producer Abe Diaw.
Diaw alleges Brown attacked him unprovoked at 3 a.m. at the VIP venue.
Brown had arrived in the United Kingdom on a private plane, landing at Manchester Airport the previous day.
After The Sun discovered his presence in the nation, Met detectives travelled to Manchester to conduct the arrest.
He was arrested and is thought to be detained in a nearby police station for questioning.
A Met Police spokesperson confirmed: “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 remains in custody. The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on 19 February 2023.”
