The American singer Chris Brown was arrested in Manchester, England on May 15, 2025.
Chris Brown has been confirmed to be arrested in Manchester, England in the early morning of May 15, 2025, for the alleged attack took place in a London nightclub in February 2023.
The arrest took place before the booked performance of the American R&B singer in the UK.
The allegations stem from Mayfair’s tape nightclub incident, where Brown was accused of attacking music producer Abraham Diaw. According to legal documents, Brown allegedly hit Diaw with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 Tequila, causing him to lose consciousness.
Brown allegedly continued to step on Diaw while on the ground, causing him severe injuries, including a tear in his head and a tear in his ligament.
Metropolitan police confirmed a 36-year-old man was arrested for allegedly causing serious physical injury.
The arrest comes after a continuing investigation into the alleged attack, which DIAW also mentioned in a formal lawsuit, noting that the attack was not launched and captured in surveillance video.
Brown’s arrest came a few days before his Breeze Bowl XX Tour, which included several stops throughout the UK. Although he is still in custody, it is not clear whether the tour schedule will be affected.
So far, Brown’s representative has not issued a statement about the arrest. As authorities assess evidence related to the case, legal proceedings are expected to continue.
