U.S. rapper Chris Brown was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester in connection with an alleged bottle attack at a London nightclub last year.
Metropolitan Police confirmed they detained the 36-year-old singer around 2am on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.
"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 has been taken into custody where he remains," said a Met spokesperson.
"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."
Brown is accused of attacking music producer Abe Diaw at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair during a Dirty Martini club night.
