Manchester [UK], May 15 (ANI): Chris Brown was arrested in Manchester, England, early Thursday morning for allegedly hitting music producer Abe Diaw with a tequila bottle in 2023, reported The New York Post.

The incident reportedly occurred in February 2023 at the Tape London nightclub. According to the publication, Diaw filed a lawsuit against Brown in October 2023, alleging that Brown hit him over the head with a Don Julio 1942 bottle. The producer also claimed that the two-time Grammy winner allegedly proceeded to "ruthlessly stomp on" him and kick him in the back of the neck, knocking him "unconscious for 30 seconds." Diaw alleged that the attack caused serious and lasting injuries.
