American singer Chris Brown, 36, has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent by the Metropolitan Police in connection with an alleged assault. The incident reportedly occurred at a nightclub in central London on February 19, 2023.

Brown was apprehended at a hotel in Manchester in the early hours of Thursday and remains in custody. He is scheduled to appear before Manchester Magistrates’ Court today, Friday.

Adele Kelly, the deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London North, stated, “We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Chris Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.”

She further noted that “criminal proceedings against this defendant are active” and affirmed his “right to a fair trial.”

According to The Sun newspaper, the R&B singer arrived at Manchester Airport via private jet on Wednesday afternoon. He is currently on tour and has upcoming performances scheduled across the UK in June and July.
