British authorities apprehended U.S. artist Chris Brown on Thursday in connection with an alleged assault at a London nightclub earlier this year, according to a report by the Sun newspaper.
The 36-year-old singer was taken into custody at a Manchester hotel, where he had arrived the previous day, following accusations of a bottle attack on a music producer at the Tape nightclub located in central London, as stated by The Sun.

The R&B artist, recognized for popular tracks like “Loyal,” “Run It,” and “Under the Influence,” is scheduled to begin a worldwide tour next month, which will include performances in Manchester and other cities across Britain.
The Metropolitan Police of London issued a statement, without mentioning Brown by name, confirming the arrest of a 36-year-old man at a Manchester hotel shortly after 2:00am local time on Thursday on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.
“He has been taken into custody where he remains. The arrest pertains to an incident that occurred at a venue in Hanover Square on February 19, 2023,” a spokesperson noted.
