Chris Brown arrested for stabbing music producer with knife

Singer Chris Brown has allegedly been arrested by London MET Police.

According to Metro, the singer was arrested in the early hours of this morning at a five-star hotel in Manchester.

Police arrested Brown on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London, in February 2023.

The 36-year-old American R&B star was arrested just after 2am at the Lowry Hotel.

Brown flew into Manchester Airport on a private jet yesterday afternoon, possibly to begin rehearsals for his tour, which kicks off its UK leg on June 15 in Manchester.

Diaw alleges Brown attacked him unprovoked at around 3am on the night in question. Brown and his entourage were attending a Dirty Martini club night held at Tape nightclub.

Diaw claims Brown broke a bottle over his head and then punched and kicked him after he fell to the ground, sustaining injuries that led him to be taken to hospital.

Diaw has launched a civil claim against Brown for $16million (£12m) in damages for injuries and losses suffered as a result of the attack

The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on 19 February 2023.

The future of Brown’s Breezy Bowl XX Tour – a celebration of his 20-year career – now appears uncertain. The singer is set to kick off the tour on June 8 in Amsterdam, before moving to the UK.
