Chris Brown Charged With GBH At Manchester Court

R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested in Manchester and charged with grievous bodily harm with intent in connection to an alleged assault at a London nightclub in February 2023. The 36-year-old was taken into custody at The Lowry Hotel and appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court, with the Crown Prosecution Service emphasizing his right to a fair trial and urging the public to avoid prejudicial online commentary. Despite the serious charge, Brown's upcoming UK tour dates, including shows in Manchester, Cardiff, London, Birmingham, and Glasgow, remain scheduled. The alleged victim has filed a $16 million civil lawsuit, claiming Brown attacked him unprovoked with a bottle, causing significant injuries. This incident adds to Brown's history of legal issues, notably his 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna. Authorities from both Greater Manchester Police and the Metropolitan Police are involved, with the case continuing to develop.
