Chris Brown Arrested in Manchester Over 2023 London Nightclub Assault Allegations
R&B superstar Chris Brown was arrested in Manchester on May 15, 2025, in connection with a violent nightclub incident that allegedly occurred in London over a year ago.
The 36-year-old Grammy-winning singer was taken into custody at The Lowry Hotel shortly after 2 a.m. by officers from the Metropolitan Police. Authorities confirmed the arrest was linked to an ongoing investigation into an assault that reportedly took place at Tape, a high-profile nightclub in the Mayfair district, in February 2023.
According to a report from Hollywood Unlocked, the incident involved music producer Abe Diaw, who alleges Brown viciously attacked him with a tequila bottle during a “Dirty Martini” event. Diaw claims he was struck repeatedly over the head before being punched and kicked by Brown after falling to the floor.
The Metropolitan Police stated the arrest was made on suspicion of “grievous bodily harm (GBH),” a serious criminal offense under UK law.
Chris Brown was in the UK ahead of the upcoming “Breezy Bowl XX” tour, with a series of performances planned across the country starting next month. His arrest now casts doubt on the status of the tour, although no official changes or cancellations have been announced by his team.

The arrest marks another addition to Brown’s long history of legal issues, which includes his infamous 2009 felony conviction for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna, among other incidents over the years.
At the time of publishing, Brown remains in police custody. His legal team and representatives have yet to issue an official statement regarding the arrest or the ongoing investigation.
The story is still developing, and updates are expected as more details emerge.
