Chris Brown arrested in England 2 years after alleged assault
Chris Brown was arrested Thursday in Manchester, England, in connection with an alleged bottle-throwing incident two years prior.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the 36-year-old controversial singer — who has a history of assault arrests — attacked music producer Abe Diaw in February 2023 at London's Tape nightclub.
Brown was taken into custody at a Manchester hotel early Thursday morning on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, according to the outlet. Brown's slated to tour in Manchester as well as other U.K. cities next month.
'We can confirm that Chris Brown was involved in an incident with our client, and the injuries sustained are serious,' attorney Ryan J. Daneshrad, who represented Diaw in the suit, told the Daily News. 'We are pursuing all legal remedies to hold him accountable. At this time, we will let the facts speak for themselves through the proper legal channels.'
It's unclear what led to the alleged altercation and what injuries Diaw allegedly sustained.
Brown is perhaps just as well-known for his legal issues as he once was for his musical prowess and hit songs like 'Forever' and 'No Air.'
Most infamously, in 2009, Brown viciously attacked then-girlfriend Rihanna, who was hospitalized as a result. He was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats, ultimately taking a deal in which he pleaded guilty to felony assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury.
Brown at the time was sentenced to five years probation, 180 days of community labor and a year of domestic violence classes and ordered to pay fines. In the aftermath, Brown was denied a visa to the U.K.
In the years since assaulting Rihanna, Brown has been arrested on suspicion of multiple other assaults in different cities.
Earlier this year, he sued Warner Bros. for an Investigation Discovery documentary, 'Chris Brown: A History of Violence,' which identified him as a 'serial rapist,' per People.
Brown's lawyer did not immediately respond to The News' request for comment.

Brooklyn good Samaritan recounts being stabbed helping women evade stalker
A Brooklyn good Samaritan who helped a pair of women evade a stranger stalking them ended up being stabbed by the suspect, he recounted to the Daily News. The 26-year-old good Samaritan and a friend intervened after being approached by one of the women asking them for help in Kensington on June 21. 'I would do it again,' the wounded good Samaritan said. 'If we weren't there, who knows what he would've done to her? I hope she is good. I hope she is safe.' Cops have released a surveillance photo of the suspect, dressed in a gray hoodie and gray sweatpants, and are asking the public's help identifying him and tracking him down. The bizarre chain of events began when the first victim, a 31-year-old woman on her way home from work, was approached by the stranger near Coney Island Ave. and Cortelyou Road about 1 a.m., according to cops. 'He tried to talk to me from afar because he noticed that I noticed him. And he was, like, 'I go this direction. I live in this direction.' He kept saying that out loud,' said the woman, who asked that her name not be used. 'He was kind of catcalling at first … but that didn't faze me. It happens to women and I'm sure men in the city. I'm not worried.' But then the woman noticed the man started following her closely. She dashed into a local deli to seek help and get away from the stalker. After spending five minutes inside the store, the woman hoped the stalker would leave, only to notice him hiding behind a nearby liquor store. That's when she asked the good Samaritan and his friend, who she knows from the neighborhood, to walk her home. The good Samaritan, a manager at a kosher restaurant, and his 29-year-old friend agree and escorted her back to her place. 'The lady approached me and said her life was in danger,' the good Samaritan said. 'This guy was following her. We saw him a few blocks away still following her, so we walked her home and she was safe.' When the woman reached home, she waited around 10 minutes before going back outside to walk her dog. That's when she noticed the stalker on her block, hiding behind a tree. She went back inside, locked her doors and called police. 'It was insane,' she said. 'I've been in Brooklyn all my life and they always say s–t on the news. But I was, like, 'Not me, I'm a tough girl. I can handle s–t.'' But all that changed when she faced danger herself. 'I felt everything I ever learned to protect myself just flew out the window,' she said. 'I've taken self-defense. I learned how to disarm someone. [But] I, like, froze.' Cops responded but could not find the stalker. Meanwhile, the good Samaritan and his friend were alerted by a phone app later that same night the stalker had reappeared, police said. 'We got another call from a friend that [the stalker] was in a building trying to go after another woman,' the good Samaritan said. The pair, now joined by a third man, who gave his name as Vlad, 28, went to a building near Ditmas Ave. and Ocean Parkway, where they found a second victim — and the menacing figure — in the lobby. 'When we came in, we saw the woman was uncomfortable,' the good Samaritan said. 'She didn't say anything and then he just went after the woman. She was crying and I tried to put him down on the floor. I didn't see the knife.' Vlad told The News he saw the stalker pull a black kitchen knife with an 8-inch blade out of his sleeve. The stranger stabbed the good Samaritan multiple times in the chest and shoulder and slashed his friend once above the eye, cops said. 'He pulled a knife and started stabbing my friends,' Vlad said. 'It happened so quick. It was like a movie scene. There was blood everywhere — on their clothes, on the floor, all over their bodies.' 'He stabbed me in the chest, shoulder and the lower back,' the good Samaritan said. 'In the struggle I tore my ACL. Now I can't work. I don't know what I'm going to do. When he ran off, my friend said, 'You're bleeding,' and then I realized. I didn't feel it at first because of the adrenaline.' Medics took the two men to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in stable condition. The woman who was the stalker's first target that night said she's grateful for the help from the good Samaritan and his friend. 'I'm just glad I'm safe and I know the other guys are stable — that's what matters,' she said. 'I want this guy (the attacker) to get help too. He clearly needs help if he is doing this. If he is out on the streets doing this to women and men, then he needs help too.' Anyone with information on the suspect's identity or whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
