Chris Brown has reportedly been arrested in Manchester, England, in connection to an alleged violent incident that took place at a nightclub over a year ago.
According to Complex, Brown was taken into custody at the Lowry Hotel in the early hours of Thursday, May 15. A representative from the Metropolitan Police confirmed that a 36-year-old man—Brown’s age—was arrested “on suspicion of grievous bodily harm.”
The arrest stems from an incident that allegedly occurred on February 19, 2023, at a venue located in Hanover Square. The case is currently being handled by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.
In a statement obtained by Complex, police shared the following:
“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. 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.”
At the time of publication, Brown was still in custody, and no further details about the alleged incident had been released. This latest development adds to a long list of legal troubles for the Grammy-winning artist.
More updates will be provided as the investigation unfolds.
