Chris Brown was arrested in Manchester, England, on May 15, 2025, in connection with an alleged assault that took place in February 2023 at Tape nightclub in London's Mayfair district. He has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent under Section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 .
The alleged victim, music producer Amadou "Abe" Diaw, claims that Brown struck him multiple times on the head with a Don Julio 1942 tequila bottle and then proceeded to punch and kick him while he was on the ground. Diaw asserts that the attack was unprovoked and resulted in serious injuries, including head lacerations and torn ligaments in his leg, necessitating hospitalization .
Diaw filed a civil lawsuit against Brown in October 2023, seeking $16 million in damages for the alleged assault and subsequent defamation, accusing Brown of spreading false rumors that damaged his professional reputation .
Brown was apprehended at approximately 2 a.m. at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester, where he was staying ahead of his upcoming "Breezy Bowl XX Tour," scheduled to commence in June. He remains in custody and is set to appear at Manchester Magistrates' Court on May 16, 2025 .
This incident adds to Brown's history of legal issues, including a 2009 felony assault conviction involving singer Rihanna and a 2017 restraining order obtained by ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran .
