American singer, Chris Brown, has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent over an alleged attack on a music producer with a bottle at a London nightclub two years ago.

Metropolitan Police confirmed the charge against the 36-year-old American musician, who remains in custody. Brown was arrested at 2am on Thursday at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester.

He is set to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court today.

The charge relates to an alleged incident in which Brown is claimed to have injured music producer Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in Hanover Square, London, on Sunday, February 19, 2023.

Mr. Diaw has previously claimed Brown assaulted him in an unprovoked attack when the rapper and his entourage were at a club night called ‘Dirty Martini’.

The producer has alleged that Brown hit over the head with a bottle two or three times and then punched and kicked him as he lay on the floor.
