Chris Brown Arrested in Manchester on Suspicion of Grievous Bodily Harm
US singer Chris Brown has been arrested in Manchester, England, on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, British police confirmed on Thursday.
According to a Metropolitan Police spokesperson, the 36-year-old artist was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 2:00 am (0100 GMT) on Thursday, May 15. He was taken into custody, where he remains under investigation.
While details of the incident remain undisclosed, the arrest comes ahead of the R&B star’s scheduled performances in the UK next month.
Chris Brown, who gained fame as a teenager with his smooth vocals and later ventured into rap, has a history of legal troubles. His public image was notably damaged after he was convicted of assaulting pop star Rihanna, his then-girlfriend, on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards.
Authorities have yet to release further details regarding the incident in Manchester or whether it will impact Brown’s upcoming tour dates in Britain.
